‘Glitches’ holding up tax revenues

$3.7 million in earned income levies not disbursed, straining municipal and school budgets. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

While $3.7 million in earned income tax revenues sit waiting to be disbursed, many governmental entities in Luzerne County are seeing coffers grow perilously low. For weeks the Luzerne County Tax Collection Committee and the agency that collects those taxes have been squabbling over why funds have not been properly distributed to the county’s municipalities and school districts. “I feel horrible,” said John Bolin, chairman of the county tax committee and a member of the Wyoming Area School Board, which has been sent about $150,000 less money than at this point last year. “I understand everybody’s troubles.” Throughout the county, municipal leaders have shared stories of shortfalls and hardships the lack of proper disbursements have created.

STATE COLLEGE — Frustration was only natural. Since November, Penn State players have had to watch their school and their football program take fire from across the country. From around the world. But for the most part, they understood that part of it. The backlash from the Jerry Sandusky scandal and the general scorn that accompanied all things Penn State. A fire that was rekindled in July with the release of the Freeh report and the NCAA imposing severe sanctions on the team. What has been tougher for them to accept, however, is the teammates who have left because of it all. “Right then and there you had to make a decision,” quarterback Matt McGloin said of

And that’s the sort of thing that isn’t sitting July 23, the day the NCAA hammer came down. “You were either going to stick it out, right with some Penn State players, who spoke out on Thursday at the or you were going to bail and be team’s media day, some for the selfish.” MORE/INSIDE first time since that morning of Ten players have left the team With their July 23. since that date.

Seniors celebrate Social Security By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

SHICKSHINNY – For Sandy Hoffman, Social Security checks make it possible to live on her own and not be dependent on her children. Hoffman, 67, is a resident of the Shickshinny Senior Center, where a birthday party was held Thursday celebrating Social Security’s 77th year. It also was Audrey Sedivi’s 80th birthday and she’s awaiting an apartment at the senior center. “Social Security pays all my bills,” Sedivi said with a smile. “When I move in here, I will finally be living on my own. Social Security made that possible.” Pam Zaremba, Northeast PA Zone coordinator for the Pennsylvania Alliance for Retired Americans, hosted the party, and when she was not playing the piano and leading songs, she answered senior citizens’ questions on Social Security.

Nanticoke shortfall As the legal wrangling plays out, some towns such as Nanticoke couldn’t wait any longer to get its rightful tax dollars and had to take out a $400,000 tax anticipation note to pay its bills. City Manager Pam Heard, who also serves on the county committee, said Nanticoke is $320,000 behind last year’s payments, and the tax anticipation note, which is a loan from a lending institution that would cover the budget shortfall, was the city’s only recourse while the county and tax collection firm are working out their issues. At Wednesday night’s supervisors meeting in Kingston Township, Chairman James Reino Jr. said the township is more than $600,000 short of this year’s budget due to the late-coming dollars.

Judge’s Mural a tribute to all who served ruling for FNCB is appealed Wall in Plymouth VFW Post 1425 includes scenes from 6 wars in which U.S. fought. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

Dunmore bank was granted a 12.5 percent interest in Eastern Insurance Group. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleder.com

WILKES-BARRE – An attorney for Eastern Insurance Group has appealed a Luzerne County judge’s ruling that granted First National Community Bank of Dunmore a 12.5 percent interest in the company based on a monetary judgment issued against one of its investors. Judge Lesa Gelb ruled in June the bank could assume the interest of Paul J. Siegel to help satisfy a judgment of $546,289 that was entered against Siegel after he defaulted on a private loan that has no connection to the insurance company. Siegel, of Shavertown, is among of group of investors that formed Eastern Insurance in 2008. He gained an interest in the company, which is a limited liability corporation, by signing a $50,000 promissory note. The legal dispute centers on whether other owners of Eastern had the right to buy back Siegel’s shares after they were notified FNCB intended to seek Siegel’s interest in the company. FNCB argued Siegel’s share in the company was a personal asset; therefore it had the right to seek his interest in the firm. Eastern’s attorney, Joseph Kluger, maintained the LLC’s operating agreement permitted other investors to buy out Siegel; therefore there was no “interest” for FNCB to seek. Gelb sided with FNCB. In a June 13 ruling, she dismissed Eastern’s objections and awarded FNCB a 12.5 percent ownership in the company. Kluger filed an appeal of the ruling with the state Superior Court on July 12. He did not return a phone message Thursday regarding the basis of the appeal. In a legal brief asking Gelb to reconsider her ruling, Kluger argued the decision would adversely impact other owners because it not only gives FNCB a financial interest in Eastern, it also gives the bank a voice in all decisions that are made by the company. “The entitlement to the membership interests (of Siegel) … directly affects the members of Eastern, who are not involved in the debts owed by defendant Siegel,” Kluger said. Kluger also argues FNCB, which has estimated Siegel’s share of Eastern to be worth $250,000, will be unjustly enriched by the ruling. Eastern contends Siegel’s share is worth no more than the $50,000 promissory note he signed to gain an ownership interest. “To allow a value set at $250,000 far exceeds what interest defendant Siegel ever had in Eastern and grants the plaintiff bank a higher windfall that even defendant Siegel would be entitled,” Kluger said.

PLYMOUTH – The mural takes up one entire wall at the Plymouth Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1425. It depicts scenes from six wars – World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. The mural, painted by Bob Dauksis, 63, of Nanticoke, honors all veterans, and it clearly shows the sacrifices, hardships and heroics of the men and women of our armed forces through the decades. “We’re not celebrating war,” said Clyde Peters of the VFW and himself a decorated veteran of Vietnam. “The mural celebrates all soldiers and what each has done for our country to preserve our freedoms.” Dauksis, a carpenter by trade, said painting is his hobby. He said he wanted to offer a general presentation of what all soldiers went through war by war. Dauksis said the World War I scene shows trench warfare;

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER

Artist Bob Dauksis of Nanticoke and Clyde Peters of the Plymouth stand in front of the mural Dauksis recently completed inside the VFW. The mural depicts scenes from six wars: World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

World War II is of the D-Day landing; Korea depicts the extreme cold conditions; Vietnam includes the jungle and rice paddies; Iraq is a desert scene; and Afghanistan shows a town with soldiers policing the area. Peters, 62, said the Iraq frame includes a female soldier. He said he asked Dauksis to paint her in to honor the VFW Post’s first female combat veteran. “We want people to come in and see the mural,” Peters said. “The

Kielbasi Festival is coming up and we want visitors to stop by and see the mural and appreciate all soldiers.” The Kielbasi Festival will be held Friday and Saturday, Aug. 2425. Peters said the theme of the festival’s parade is “Honor All Soldiers.” Peters, the youngest of 17 children, knows what soldiers go through in battle. On Thanksgiving Day in 1968, Peters saved the life of a fellow sol-

dier who was hit in the chest by an enemy bullet. Peters threw him on his shoulder and headed to safety. While he was running with the wounded soldier on his back, Peters was hit. Peters also spearheaded the drive to erect a Vietnam Memorial in his hometown honoring seven young men from Plymouth who were killed in the war and all those who fought there. The Plymouth VFW was established in 1938.

Reason for rejecting Moosic event not believed Steve Smith of the European American Action Coalition says rights violated. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

MOOSIC – The man who organized a picnic for a “white people’s rights group” doesn’t buy a borough official’s reasons behind rescinding permission to use the borough park pavilion on Saturday for the event. Steve Smith, director of the local chapter of the European American Action Coalition, said the coalition has had its annual picnic at the park for the last two years without incident. But after borough officials read a newspaper story about the event and its organizer and discovering that Smith resided in Pittston, Council Chairman

John Mercatili said the borough secretary called Smith and requested proof of his residency in the borough. When Smith confirmed that he lived in Pittston, she informed him permission to use the pavilion was revoked. Mercatili said borough policy limits reserved use of the pavilion to borough residents, who may, of course, invite non-borough residents to events. He said permission to use the pavilion was revoked because Smith lied about his residency. He also said Smith screamed and cursed at the secretary on the phone. Smith on Thursday said he raised his voice at the secretary but did not curse. He said he has used the Moosic address of his girlfriend’s friend when reserving the pavilion just as he had for the previous two years. The friend did not make the reservation herself because she didn’t

want her name in the paper. Smith said he doesn’t believe Mercatili’s reason for rescinding permission because when he asked the secretary if his friend, who lives in Moosic, could reserve the pavilion, “she said ‘No. We don’t want fascists in our town anyway.’ That’s when I found the real reason.” Smith, 41, said he is not a fascist, a racist or a white supremacist, despite his past affiliation with the Keystone State Skinheads, a past ethnic intimidation conviction and the beliefs of the guest speaker who had been scheduled for the picnic. Merlin Miller, a filmmaker and presidential candidate for the American Third Position Party, was to be the special guest speaker. The Southern Poverty Law Center says the American Third Position is “a political party initially established by racist

Southern California skinheads that aims to deport immigrants and return the United States to white rule.” Smith said he is no longer affiliated with the skinheads group and he doesn’t condone his drunken behavior when he threatened a man whom he described as a drug dealer, which led to the intimidation conviction in 2003. He also said the coalition is not a hate group or white supremacist group. “It’s an advocacy group for white people, just like the NAACP is an advocacy group for black people and La Raza is an advocacy group for Hispanics,” Smith said. Smith, a truck driver, said he plans on “looking into” legal action against the borough. He believes rescinding use of the park was ultimately a violation of his First Amendment rights.

Dallas Township discusses emergency services issues Supervisors talk about how to best notify residents in event of emergency. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Emergency Management Agency coordinator Alan Pugh told supervisors at their Tuesday work session that both the Dallas and Kunkle fire departments held a tabletop drill with the Williams Gas Co., which simulated an emergency at a natural gas site. He said Kunkle Fire Chief Jack Dodson is also trying to organize a tabletop drill with the school district to anticipate any shortcomings that may Supervisors also discussed what would be the best way to

notify residents during the event of an emergency. Supervisor Liz Martin said she has tested that via the township website newsletter. She said most residents have asked to be notified via email, and only two people had asked for the newsletter via mail. Martin said she will see if the trends change at all with the next newsletter, but she believes the best way to communicate with other residents would be electronically. The county has a system available to the township to alert residents electronically of emergencies at no cost, Pugh said. He said a cost to add phone numbers could be incurred at a later date. Pugh also spoke to the supervisors about possible alternate

access ways to the school district near the football stadium that would allow emergency vehicles to get onto the campus. Martin said school officials would participate in maintaining the roadways but had asked whether the township could get the roads approved for emergency access purposes. Solicitor Thomas Brennan said there are many issues to consider, such as whether those roads are owned by the township, how much work would be required to open the roads and other factors. Police Chief Robert Jolley presented the supervisors with information about purchasing two computerized mobile dispatch systems for the department. He said these systems, which

are already in place in local emergency service vehicles, enable officers to receive 911 call information in real time, access to various databases from anywhere and contact with other police departments throughout the country and abroad. Jolley said the county upgraded to a new, computer-aided dispatch system, and several licenses were purchased for the data to be shared among other police departments. The township has an opportunity to utilize the licenses at no cost. He said otherwise the licenses cost $1,800 per unit. Jolley said the hardware would cost $7,790 to install the equipment into police vehicles. He also said the equipment could be moved to different vehicles if needed.

Engineer testifies his design for quarry won’t impact environment By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

DORRANCE TWP. – Rick Caranfa, an engineer with Aiken Engineers of Shiremanstown, testified Wednesday night that his design for a quarry operation on Small Mountain Road complies with all government regulations and will have no significant impact on the area around it. Under questioning from Pennsy attorney George Asimox, who is affiliated with the Harrisburg office of the law firm of Saul &

Ewing, Caranfa repeatedly stated his design for the quarry, which is proposed for development by the Pennsy Supply Corp., meets with regulations on land and water usage, as well as environmental restrictions. Caranfa said he was primarily involved in developing an environmental impact statement for the state Department of Environmental Protection. He said the submitted study shows the quarry will have “no adverse impact.” After Caranfa’s more than 21/2

hours of testimony, attorney Bill Higgs, representing residents opposed to the quarry, asked Caranfa about the impact on wetlands that are situated to the south of quarry property. Higgs’ questioning will carry over to a fourth session after the township supervisors set a 10 p.m. deadline for testimony. Caranfa, however, did present some new information on underground water reserves. He said test wells have determined two major aquifers lie beneath the

site. He produced two schematic drawings reflecting what he called a “deep aquifer” and a “shallow aquifer.” He said the deep aquifer is substantial because when a monitoring well was drilled it was determined that the underground water is under pressure. Asked by Supervisor Gary Zane about the possibility of the deep aquifer being contaminated by chemicals, Caranfa said the company won’t keep a substan-

tial amount of hazardous material on site and there will be constant water monitoring. Caranfa, in response to a question by Supervisor Ben Ostrowski about blasting, said there is little chance of blasting causing cracks in the rock formation in which the aquifers lie. Carnafa said that in advance of preparing his design he walked the site 50 times, including this past Monday, when he inspected water runoff into the wetlands after Sunday’s storm.

Selenski appeal will go forward Diversity Judge Pierantoni says he can’t decide appeal to dismiss charges is frivolous.

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge on Thursday said attorneys representing homicide suspect Hugo Selenski may go forward with their appeal of his ruling regarding a request to dismiss the charges. Selenski’s scheduled Sept.10 trial could be delayed for an unknown period of time. Selenski, 38, could face the death penalty if convictedinthedeathsofTammyFassettand Michael Kerkowski, both of whom were 37 when they died. Investigators allege Selenski killed Fassett and Kerkowski on May 3, 2002. Judge Fred Pierantoni said in a two-page order that while he is “confident of the correctness of our legal determination” he cannot decide the appeal is frivolous, thus clearing the way for defense attorneys to go for-

Selenski

ward with their appeal. Lisa Sands, Fassett’s sister, said Thursday she is highly upset by the latest appeal. She believed the trial was going to be held and had confidence in the judge that no further delays were going to be is-

sued. Defense attorneys on Aug. 7 filed an appeal to the state Superior Court, stating Pierantoni erred when he denied a request to dismiss the charges against Selenski because Selenski was previously prosecuted on a different offense. Prosecutors on Wednesday attempted to have the appeal stopped, stating it was frivolous and a tactic to delay Selenski’s trial. Prosecutors also said defense attorneys needed to ask permission of Pierantoni to appeal his decision. “The commonwealth’s … position that the

murders of (Kerkowski and Fassett) in this case and the murders of (Frank James and Adeiye Keiler in May 2003) for which (Selenski) was previously prosecuted occurred a year apart, under different circumstances, by different means, with different co-conspirators, in different locations,” prosecutors said. A Luzerne County jury acquitted Selenski of the James and Keiler slayings in March 2006. But Selenski was convicted of burning their bodies at the Mount Olivet Road, Kingston Township, home where he lived at the time. Pierantoni said Thursday defense attorneys do not need his permission to appeal. “Whileweareofthefirmopinionthatourreasoning and judgment regarding this issue is sound, we cannot conclude (Selenski’s appeal) to our decision is frivolous,” Pierantoni wrote.

Served with love By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Clients of the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen were treated to a special pizza lunch Thursday afternoon thanks to the generosity of Little Caesars Pizza and one of its local franchise owners. The “Love Kitchen,” an 18-wheel rig outfitted with pizza ovens and coolers, rolled into Wilkes-Barre to dish out 96 pizzas to feed more than 300 people. Established in 1985, the mobile kitchen has provided free pizza to more than 2 million needy people in 48 states and parts of Canada.

It has also responded to numerous disasters, including recent tornado outbreaks in the south the hurricanes in the Gulf Coast area in 2005 and 2008. The visit to St. Vincent de Paul on Jackson Street was part of a tour of Northeast, which also included a stop at a soup kitchen in Scranton, said David Fox, the truck’s driver. “It was designed as a way for the corporation and local franchisees to give back to the community,” Fox said. “It’s a treat for them and it gives the staff a break from cooking and to save money to use elsewhere.” Thursday’s meal was made possible

Controller Walter Griffith questions money for the county Diversity Commission.

Luzerne County Controller Walter Griffith says the Luzerne County Diversity Commission hasn’t been conducting its financial affairs properly, but a commission member says clear instructions on exactly what was required of the group were never provided. Griffith said the commission, which was created as a diversity task force by former county commissioners Todd Vonderheid and Greg Skrepenak, received $10,000 checks from the county in 2008 and 2009, and nearly $17,000 of it remains unused in an account of the Luzerne Foundation. But a recent move to put $10,000 towards a new diversity initiative led Griffith to cry foul when he learned it was done without a public vote. He said he learned commission members voted on the issue using the Internet. “You can’t disperse $10,000 of taxpayer money without a public meeting with votes made in public,” Griffith said. He said he began an audit based on complaints from community activist Angel Jirau and inquiries from county Councilwoman Linda McClosky Houck. “Angel Jirau has been screaming for years that these people don’t do anything for diversity,” he said. But, he said, he has not received all necessary records, adding that the county funds were deposited into a Misericordia University (formerly College Misericordia) account when commission member Linda Trompetter worked there. The funds had since been transferred to the Luzerne Foundation. “Nobody has bank statements, nobody knows anything. So we don’t know how much of our $10,000 was going toward county diversity and how much was going toward College Misericordia diversity,” he said. “They don’t have minutes. It’s very loose the way the commission is run.” He also said $10,000 was transferred from the Luzerne Foundation to the Northeastern Pennsylvania Diversity Education Consortium and then transferred back to the Luzerne Foundation after he made an inquiry. He said the commission should have opened its own bank account. Trompetter says Griffith is

It resulted in the fair’s first cancellation in the event’s 157-year history. “I am here to celebrate the rebirth of the Bloomsburg Fair. Today, the fairgrounds are bustling with activity, but it was a very different picture last year,” Cawley said. The Bloomsburg National Car Show kicks off this weekend, and the Bloomsburg Fair is scheduled for Sept. 22-29.

Courtdale home burglarized, car taken, as family slept Family monitoring calls on iPhones taken from home, finds callers still in area. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

COURTDALE – It’s bad enough two iPhones were taken during a burglary at Joe Zambito’s house on North Street as he and his family slept. What makes it worse for him, his wife and his daughter is whoever took them is still in the area and making calls on them. The family has been monitoring the calls and noticed one of them had been made around 4 p.m. Thursday from somewhere along the Sans Souci Parkway in Hanover Township. A 2006 black Toyota Corolla S, a laptop computer and other items were stolen during the

break-in early Tuesday morning. Attempts were made to enter other houses along the street bordering St. Mary’s Annunciation Church Cemetery. A basement window was pushed in to get inside Zambito’s house. From there the burglar or burglars went up the stairs to the main floor of the one-story house and into the daughter’s bedroom, where the laptop was taken from a desk and a cellphone from a nightstand next to her bed as she was asleep. The brazen invasion of privacy has unnerved Zambito, his wife, Donna, and daughter, Joann. “We all sleep together now because we’re all scared,” Zambito said.

A large hammer was found in the grass near the front porch. Donna Zambito broke down into tears as she said she could have been beaten with the hammer. “I just worry now,” she said. She recalled she woke up around 2 a.m., checked to see the door to her daughter’s room was closed and went back to bed.

DeAndrea expected to contest traffic citation

Hazleton police Chief Frank DeAndrea Jr. is expected to contest a traffic citation at a summary hearing scheduled on Sept. 5. State police at Hazleton cited DeAndrea, 48, with failing to stop at a red light that resulted in DeAndrea a three vehicle crash at Broad and Laurel streets on May 18. State police allege DeAndrea, operating a Hazleton police 2008 Dodge Durango, passed through the red traffic signal and struck a 2007 Suzuki scooter, operated by Walter L. Bloss, of Butler Township. Bloss’ vehicle struck a 2003 Hyundai Sonata, owned by Francesco Correta, of Hazleton. Bloss suffered severe injuries and was treated at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township.

Fries a little too hot at restaurant By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Customers were turned away from their morning breakfast and coffee while city firefighters battled a grease fire at McDonalds on East Northampton Street Thursday. Two employees were transported to a local hospital for breathing in fumes from a fire extinguisher. Assistant Fire Chief Bruce Reilly said firefighters responded to the fast-food restaurant just before 9 a.m. when a grease fire erupted in the fryer area in the kitchen. A fire suppression system designed to extinguish flare-ups failed to activate, Reilly said. Two employees hit the flames with fire extinguishers, breathing in chemicals. They were treated by paramedics before being taken to a hospital. About three customers and 10 employees were inside the restaurant at the time. As firefighters were checking the building and an aerial ladder was extended to the roof, customers tried to walk into the restaurant or order food at the drive-through window, only to be turned away. Another customer lingered outside for nearly 30 minutes hoping the restaurant would reopen for breakfast. “I come here a few days a week. I like their McGriddle sandwiches,” said Tom Langler of WilkesBarre. Officials with the city’s code enforcement office and health department inspected the damage. Reilly said the restaurant will remain closed until health department officials determine it is safe to reopen. The restaurant remained closed late Thursday afternoon.

N.J. man waives arraignment in shooting Jerayme Johnson, 26, charged with shooting man in face at nightclub in 2010. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – An alleged gang member charged with shooting a rival gang member in the face outside a Plains Township nightclub has waived his right to a formal arraignment in

county court. Jerayme Johnson, 26, of Newark, N.J., waived his arraignment on an aggravated assault charge Johnson and a firearms violation, entering a plea of not guilty. Police say Johnson shot Thomas Tonic, 22, in the face outside a nightclub at the Woodlands Inn

Police say Johnson is a member of the Bloods street gang, while Tonic associated himself with the Crips street gang. Tonic, also of Newark, N.J., has since been named a material witness by prosecutors, meaning Tonic is on $25,000 unsecured bail with conditions that require him to appear at court hearings involving the case. Prosecutors have said Tonic is agreeable to any plea deal made with Johnson.

& Resort in June 2010. Johnson will next be scheduled for a pre-trial hearing before a county judge. At Johnson’s preliminary hearing in May, prosecutors withdrew the most serious charge, criminal attempt to commit homicide and additional charges of aggravated assault and firearms not to be carried without a license. Johnson is jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $500,000 bail.

Yuknavich set to begin DUI VA settles suit over man’s death conviction sentence tonight By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Chief John Paul Yuknavich is scheduled to begin his two-day sentence tonight on a drunkendriving conviction. Luzerne County Senior Judge Joseph Augello found Yuknavich, 48, guilty of driving under the influence after a non-jury trial on July 19. Plains Township police said they stopped Yuknavich on Nov. 27 after investigating an alleged violation of a protection from abuse order at his former girlfriend’s residence on Oak Street. Yuknavich drove away from the house and stopped for police on First Street in Plains. Police alleged in the criminal complaint Yuknavich’s breath had a strong smell of alcohol and his eyes were red and glossy. He failed field sobriety tests, police said. Police said in the complaint Yuknavich had a blood alcohol level of .162 percent, more than twice the legal limit. Yuknavich was later cleared of violating the PFA. Yuknavich’s attorney, Barry Dyller, tried to have the DUI charge dismissed, arguing po-

lice did not have sufficient evidence to stop him because there was no violation of the PFA orYuknavich der. Assistant District Attorney Tom Hogans, who prosecuted the DUI charge, maintained police needed only to have “reasonable suspicion” that Yuknavich had committed the DUI offense. Augello said the officer had not determined whether the PFA had been violated and had reason to believe Yuknavich was operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Dyller said Thursday that he has not made a decision whether to appeal the DUI conviction. Augello sentenced Yuknavich to 48 hours to six months in jail, and ordered the sentence to begin at 7 p.m. today at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. Yuknavich also was ordered to pay $525 in fines, $307 in restitution and to undergo drug-and-alcohol evaluation. He could not be reached for comment Thursday.

SCRANTON -- The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Plains Township has agreed to settle a federal lawsuit filed by a Wilkes-Barre woman who alleged a physician improperly treated her husband’s lung cancer, leading to his premature death. Pauline Modzelewski of South Hancock Street filed suit against the facility and Dr. Kim Loan Vo in 2011 in connection with the death Feb. 5, 2009 death of her husband, Ralph. According to the suit filed by attorney Thomas Foley Jr. of Scranton: Ralph Modzelewski was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2004. Modzelewski was advised not to undergo surgery because he suffered from severe lung disease and there was a high risk he would not survive the operation. Over the course of the next year, a tumor in Modzelewski’s left lung continued to grow. Vo’s notes indicate Modzelewski and his wife chose not to undergo any treatment, but the suit alleges they were never offered any alternatives to the surgery.

In August 2006 Modzelewski went to the emergency room at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Based on that visit he was referred to another physician, who determined Modzelewski was, in fact, a candidate for surgery. That surgery was performed in October 2006. The suit alleges Vo was negligent for failing to properly diagnose Modzelewski’s cancer and that she unilaterally ruled out the possibility of surgery, chemotherapy or other treatments without consulting with other physicians. Those decisions caused his condition to worsen, leading to his death from respiratory failure. The case was referred to a magistrate judge for a settlement conference, which was held on Monday, according to the court docket sheet. The parties advised the court on Wednesday that a settlement had been reached. Details of the settlement were not available Thursday. Foley did not return a phone message or email seeking comment. Vince Riccardo, spokesman for the VA Center, declined to comment, citing the hospital’s policy not to discuss legal matters.

ATLANTA — Don’t pet the pigs. That’s the message state and county fair visitors got Thursday from health officials who reported a five-fold increase of cases of a new strain of swine flu that spreads from pigs to people. Most of the cases are linked to the fairs, where visitors are in close contact with infected pigs. This flu has mild symptoms and it’s not really spreading from person to person. “This is not a pandemic situation,” said Dr. Joseph Bresee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But any flu can be a risk for some people, and people should be cautious when they can, he added. The case count jumped from 29 a week ago to 158 this week, thanks to a wave of new cases in Indiana and Ohio, said Bresee, the agency’s chief of influenza epidemiology. Most of the infected patients are children — probably because many were working closely with raising, displaying and visiting pigs at the agricultural fairs, Bresee said. The new strain has a gene from the 2009 pandemic strain that might let it spread more easily than pig viruses normally do. The good news is almost all of the illnesses have been mild and no one has died.

More good news is that all of the recent cases appear to have spread from pigs to humans, meaning it’s not very contagious, at least between people. But there probably will be more cases in the weeks ahead, and it won’t be surprising if at least a few of them involve person-to-person transmission, Bresee said.

Defense attorney Daniel King made the revelation as he argued defense attorneys need more information from prosecutors and investigators.

More hurricanes expected The Atlantic hurricane season got off to an early start and will likely stay busy, producing a few more storms than originally predicted, which could come early before tapering off, U.S. forecasters said Thursday. Twelve to 17 tropical storms were expected with as many as five to eight hurricanes, forecasters said. A couple could become major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or higher. Last year was one of the busiest seasons on record with 19 named systems, including Irene, one of the costliest storms in U.S. history. CAIRO

Gunmen shoot at police Gunmen sprayed a police station in Egypt’s Sinai with bullets Thursday, setting off a brief firefight with policemen before speeding away in their truck, the latest in a series of attacks against security forces in the increasingly volatile peninsula, security officials said. Meanwhile, the military sent additional armored and other army vehicles to boost its strength in a hunt for militants in the wake of a deadly weekend attack that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers. An attack on Sunday that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers has rattled the Egyptian government, prompting the country’s new Islamist president to sack the intelligence chief for failing to act on an Israeli warning of an imminent attack just days before.

He had no TV to shoot Musician Seth Horvitz is used to tickling the ivories, not squeezing a trigger. So when a UPS delivery worker dropped off a military-grade semiautomatic rifle instead of the flat-screen TV he had ordered from an Amazon.com third-party seller, he didn’t dare touch it at first. Horvitz, 38, wasn’t immediately alarmed by the long rectangular box a UPS delivery worker had dropped off in the hallway of his apartment building Tuesday. While he knew it wasn’t the right shape or size to hold the 39-inch TV he had ordered, he said he thought maybe it contained a television stand or accessories and that the actual monitor would be delivered later. But when he opened the box, he found a fully assembled rifle in a plastic bag, surrounded by foam. Horvitz said he called the police, who confiscated the gun and told him it was illegal in the District of Columbia to handle such a weapon. He also contacted Amazon, UPS, the seller and his credit card company. The seller of the television has refunded Horvitz and reported the package as lost, Horvitz said.

Campaigns going negative

By JULIE PACE and KASIE HUNT Associated Press

NEW YORK — Mitt Romney on Thursday accused President Barack Obama and his allies of launching personal attacks and perpetuating lies about him in TV ads. The Republican also rolled out a new commercial of his own that questioned Obama’s values and accused the president of waging war on religious freedom. Obama’s campaign disputed that charge. “I am seeing some of the ads out there. I don’t know whatever happened to a campaign of

hope and change,” Romney said, alluding to Obama’s previous campaign slogan, during an interview on Bill Bennett’s radio program, “Morning in America.” “I thought he was a new kind of politician. But instead, his campaign and the people working with him have focused almost exclusively on personal attacks ... It’s really disappointing.” In the interview, Romney argued that Obama “keeps on just running” ads that various factchecking organizations have called inaccurate. “They just blast ahead,” he said, instead of pulling the ads off the air. But the candidate ignored the fact that he has kept his own ads assailing Obama on the air after these groups have found their claims to be false.

lo, Colo., Obama bemoaned the influence of super PACs supporting Romney. He told voters they would see “more negative ads, more money spent than you have ever seen in your life.” He made no mention of similar groups supporting his campaign. Bill Burton, a former White House aide and a co-founder of Priorities USA Action, said the ad does not suggest that Romney was responsible for Soptic’s wife’s death. “We’re not saying Mitt Romney is culpable,” Burton told CNN. The back and forth over the commercial underscored the degree to which the White House campaign has become intensely negative and personal as polls show the race close.

WASHINGTON — The nearly bankrupt U.S. Postal Service on Thursday reported a quarterly loss of $5.2 billion and warned it will miss another payment due to the U.S. Treasury, just one week after its first-ever default on a payment for future retiree health benefits. From April to June, losses were $2.1 billion more than during the same period last year. The mail agency said it is being hurt significantly by mounting costs for future retiree health benefits. Those expenses made up $3.1 billion of the post office’s quarterly loss. Declining first-class mail volume also contributed to losses. “We have simply reached the point that we must conserve cash,” Thurgood Marshall Jr., chairman of the Postal Service’s board of governors, said in explaining the payment defaults. He cautioned that the mail agency may have to delay other payments if necessary. The Postal Service for months has been urging Congress to pass legislation that would allow it to eliminate Saturday mail delivery and reduce the annual health payment of more than $5 billion. The post office defaulted on that payment last week when the House failed to take action before heading home for a five-week break. The mail agency says it will miss the second $5.6 billion payment due on Sept. 30, also for future retiree benefits, as cash runs close to zero. At a news briefing, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe made clear that day-to-day mail delivery will not be disrupted in any way despite the cash crunch. But Donahoe expressed frustration with the repeated delays by Congress, which he said is contributing to a lot of “negative talk on finances.” Overall, the post office had operating revenue of $15.6 billion from April through June, the third quarter of its 2012 fiscal year. That was down a fraction from the same period last year. But quarterly expenses this year climbed to $20.8 billion, up 10 percent, largely driven by the health prepayments. The Postal Service is the only government agency required to make such payments. The service also has been hurt by declining mail volume. The number of items mailed during the last quarter was 38.5 billion pieces, a 4 percent decrease, much of it in first-class mail. Art Sackler, co-coordinator of the Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service, a group representing the private-sector mailing industry, cautioned that the worst of postal losses may be yet to come. He noted that the Postal Service’s third-quarter numbers may reflect an unusually higher volume of mail that typically occurs in an election year.

State wants to seize $65,000 from store

Drug paraphernalia and synthetic pot allegedly found in raid of Magikal Garden. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – There have been no new arrests since drug raids at four Luzerne County businesses on July 26, but the state Attorney General’s Office this week filed court papers to seize $65,000 from one establishment. Agents with the state Attorney General’s Office and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration searched Magikal Garden in Exeter for drug paraphernalia and synthetic marijuana during the coordinated raids. In court papers filed this week in Luzerne County Court, Deputy Attorney General Ellen Clark asked to seize $65,000 from the owners of the Magikal Garden, Alphonse and Sharleen Palaima of Hughestown. The Attorney General’s Office must go through a lengthy process before it seizes the money, and a judge has not yet ruled on whether it can begin that process. When reached by phone Thursday, Sharleen Palaima said she had no comment regarding the seizure of money or investiga-

tion. According to an affidavit that accompanied Clark’s filing, agents made purchases of synthetic marijuana from Magikal Garden between July 18 and July 23. A clerk said the business had been selling synthetic marijuana since March or April of 2012, and sells approximately $5,000 worth “on a good day.” The clerk said, according to the affidavit, that she did not know where the owners got the synthetic marijuana from and the owners would pick up money at the end of the day and make deposits at a bank in Pittston. A shipment of synthetic marijuana came every week, the clerk said. Other businesses raided in Luzerne County were: the Sunoco Service Station in Forty Fort; Back Mountain Tobacco, Dallas; and Puff and Stuff, West Hazleton. All four were open for business Thursday. The lone arrest resulting from the raids was of Manjinder C. Singh, at the Sunoco Service Station, who was charged in federal court with six felony counts of distribution of synthetic marijuana. A spokesman with the Attorney General’s Office said Thursday that the investigation is still ongoing and no additional arrests have yet been made.

Bowling ball urn is right up his alley The Associated Press

TURTLE CREEK — A Pittsburgh-area bowling fanatic has gotten a Utah company to fashion a bowling ball urn for his ashes. Forty-eight-year-old Tony Guarino told KDKA-TV that his wife, Stacy, called Storm Products Inc. of Brigham City, Utah, when he began wondering if the bowling ball company could make such a container. Company official Mike Stewart said Storm was “honor-

OUR OPINION: SURVEY SAYS …

Join the search for school super

OU MIGHT NOT be a fan of surveys, but before month’s end you should fill out an important questionnaire concerning the Wilkes-Barre Area School District’s future. The online survey – accessible through the district’s website – asks for input from area residents like you, whose responses collectively will be used in searching for the troubled district’s next superintendent. If you’re a teacher, a taxpayer, an administrator or a parent, you should complete this survey. Same goes for you students. (No, it’s not homework; think of it as voting on which “America’s Got Talent” contestant will advance to the finals – only this outcome will have an actual impact on your life.) Are you a district employee in a non-teaching post or perhaps a board member? If so, you, too, should put in your two cents. Overseen by the Pennsylvania School Boards Association, the survey seeks to gauge attitudes about the district’s most pressing issues and the skills desired in a new superintendent. Responses will be accepted through Aug. 30, according to information posted on the district’s website: http://portal.wbasd.k12.pa.us. One portion of the survey asks participants to rate 15

“challenges, issues and needs that should be addressed.” The categories range from professional development and student achievement to buildings and morale. Respondents evaluate each on a scale ranging from “not important” to “very important.” Similarly, you can prioritize the “the qualifications and experience you feel are needed by a new superintendent.” Among the 15 categories: parental engagement, public relations, school finance and negotiations. Considering how desperately Luzerne County needs familysustaining jobs – and people with the skills to fill them – everyone from chamber of commerce officials to social service professionals should take an interest in what happens within Wilkes-Barre Area’s school walls. For three weeks, you have your chance to chime in about the district’s next chief – the woman, or man, who sets the tone. Take the survey.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I am here to celebrate the rebirth of the Bloomsburg Fair.” Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley The state official toured the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds in Columbia County on Thursday to review restoration efforts made after the damage caused by Tropical Storm Lee last September, which forced the fair’s first cancellation in its 157-year history. Nearly $1.2 million in repairs have been completed, and the annual event is set to resume Sept. 22-29.

Glitch in jury process causes stress for family

he Times Leader’s article regarding a 12-year-old boy receiving a summons for jury duty struck a nerve for our family. In March our 15-year-old daughter received a similar summons. When Luzerne County was contacted, we were told her name might have come from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s licensing bureau. At that time we thought our daughter’s identity might have been stolen and contacted the state police. Fortunately her name did not appear on any driver’s license list. On a second call to the county we were told a similar case in western Pennsylvania might have occurred from a computer glitch. The news article of Aug. 4 brings to light a problem in the system, and will hopefully relieve any anxiety should another family experience a similar situation.

OTHER OPINION: POSTAL CRISIS

Congress needs to deliver help

ONGRESS CAN HELP fix the U.S. Postal Service’s fiscal problems. It could start by eliminating, or at least modifying, rules adopted by lawmakers in 2006 that require the postal service to prefund 75 years of future retiree health benefits within a decade, an onerous burden shared by no other government agency. More than 80 percent of the postal service’s mounting debt – now climbing at an estimated $25 million a day – is attributed to that obligation. It is no surprise the postal service defaulted on a $5.5 billion payment for future health benefits due last week, and said it won’t be able to make a $5.6 billion payment due in September. Conservatives pushed for accelerated health-benefit payments six years ago to promote fiscal austerity. But it’s foolhardy to stand by those rules as the nation’s mail system goes bankrupt. Congress cannot let that happen. First-class mail volume is EDITORIAL BOARD

down 25 percent since 2006. The decline is expected to continue, at least in the short term. Yet millions of Americans still rely on the nation’s postal-delivery system, even when they do most of their correspondence by email or choose to pay some bills online. Patchwork reprieves, such as one the Senate approved in the spring, aren’t sustainable. The Senate bill provided $11billion of buyouts and early-retirement incentives. But what happens after February 2014 is anyone’s guess. Nearly half of the 461 regional centers are expected to close within a few years, 140 of them within the next seven months. The postal service needs to become leaner and more efficient, but through a systematic approach. Lawmakers must let the postal service find ways to adjust to market forces, whether through more consolidated delivery or an expansion of nontraditional services. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

LETTERS FROM READERS

Kadluboski was there when needed most

ere are two more stories to complement reporter Bill O’Boyle’s recent article (“No cape, but still W-B’s crusader,” Aug. 4) about Bob Kadluboski, someone I considered the best wrecker operator the city had during my time on the fire department. One incident involved a fire, the other a car wreck, and both occurred around this time of the year. It was only a garage fire, so we knew we weren’t going to get any extra help. To make matters worse, we were the only engine company in the alley, close to the fire. But it was a large garage, at least four or five bays, and fully involved (burning from end to end) when we arrived. Initially, we had two attack lines on it and were able to at least prevent the fire from spreading to a nearby house. Just as the wind picked up, our pump malfunctioned and began to lose pressure. The engineer, who had been manning one of the attack lines, had to shut down the line and operate the pump with the manual throttle. Our one remaining hose line wasn’t enough, and the fire quickly roared to life, with flames at least 30 feet high. At that point, the entire neighborhood was at risk. Though we hadn’t called for him, Kadluboski materialized in the alley at precisely the right moment and seized the second line; together we were able to knock down the fire for good. It was more common to see Kadluboski at the scene of a motor vehicle accident, especially when we needed heavy-rescue

capability, and we had a dandy one night near the old Hollenback pool – a car so far into a telephone pole that the engine block was nearly in the driver’s lap. The dashboard was down on her knees, the steering column was less than an inch from crushing her chest, and her pulse was barely palpable. We had to extricate her quickly or risk losing her. Kadluboski deftly eased the car away from the pole, unbolted the seat, and she was soon on her way to the ER. He remained on-scene, as he always did, to sweep up the shattered glass and debris, making the road safe for other traffic. From start to finish, an operation that looked to be an hour or more on arrival, took 10 to 15 minutes at most, thanks to Bob. You can say what you want about Bob Kadluboski, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that he has saved the day (and the night) more often than the average reader might realize, and, along with saving our cheeks, he saved a few lives in the bargain.

Broadband working well without strict regulations

he unprecedented access to live Olympic coverage over the Internet (“NBC offers plenty of live Olympics online,” July 31) is the latest example of a consumer-friendly trend: As more and more Americans sign up for high-speed Internet service, they’re enjoying greater choice, lower prices, faster speeds and innovative new services, including a proliferation of wireline and wireless applications. The Federal Communications Commission deserves some thanks. It, and Congress, has decided not to heavily regulate broadband in the way that the U.S. Postal Service and many public utilities are regulated. The FCC has instead chosen to set general ground rules for broadband – instituting non-discrimination rules, for instance. This calibrated approach has let a thousand flowers bloom, clearly evident in the near daily announcements about new broadband innovations. The broadband Internet industry is not dysfunctional like Wall Street – an industry

DOONESBURY

whose excesses clearly harmed the country and call out for stricter rules to check the excesses. Broadband Internet providers have invested hundreds of billions in new networks over the past four years, and those networks now reach 95 percent of U.S. households. Most consumers now have six to eight broadband providers to choose from, with monthly prices as low as $15; and service quality and speeds continue to rise. It’s time that lawmakers take note of the industries that are working well and serving the public interest, and those that are not. We need regulatory scalpels to fix those that are not working and a Hippocratic Oath to leave be those that are flourishing. Clayola Brown President A. Philip Randolph Institute Washington, D.C.

Writer says Obama guilty of condoning abortions

atholics cannot vote for President Obama, lest they become excommunicated by the Catholic Church. President Obama seemingly is for murdering preborn babies inside and outside their mothers’ wombs (partial birth abortion). The following is a quotation from “The Declaration on Procured Abortion” issued by Pope Paul VI in 1974: “It must, in any case, be clearly understood that a Christian can never conform to a law which is in itself immoral, and such is the case of a law which would admit in principle the liceity of abortion. Nor can a Christian take part in a propaganda campaign in favor of such a law, or vote for it. Moreover, he may not collaborate in its application.” Humberto Cardinal Medeiros in 1980 said, “Those who make abortions possible by law, such as legislators and those who promote, defend and elect these same legislators, cannot separate themselves totally from that guilt (sin), which accompanies this horrendous crime.” The new code of canon law, canon 1398, says, “A person who actually procures an abortion incurs a latae sententiae (automatic) excommunication.” Latae sententiae includes accomplices if, without their assistance, the crime would not have been committed. After World War II, the Nazi leaders and abortionists were prosecuted and executed for crimes against humanity. The crimes remain the same since 1973. Should not Obama and Vice President Biden be held accountable for crimes against humanity? What could be guiltier in the eyes of God than taking the lives of innocent, defenseless and voiceless preborn babies? God help us.

church co-pastor. “They’re reaching out into areas that have been labeled ‘highcrime areas’ and, rather than waiting on other youth to come to the church, it was decided that we would take (the church) to them. That’s why we decided on Coal Street Park,” she said. The Kingdom Basketball Tournament, slated for 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, was coordinated by Patrick Reece, a church member and a coach at Holy Redeemer High School. “It’s basically an idea to try to get the youth together. A lot of people like to play basketball and show their skills and talent, so we thought this would be a great opportunity,” Reece said.

The Kingdom Explosion church service from 9:45 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Sunday also will be held on the basketball courts at Coal Street Park, Tyler-Smith said. Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, representatives of Luzerne County Juvenile Probation and other community leaders are expected to attend the service. The events are the first public functions of SOAR – Street Outreach and Redemption – a ministry implemented by the church to do outreach into local high-risk communities. “We’re trying to effectuate a change in the kids from inside out and we’re using spirituality to do that. Events like this are just a drawing card because we’re going to have people here talking about being more spiritual, developing relationships,” Tyler-Smith said.

“We know that one of the main attractions to gang life is the sense of relationship and being a part of something like a family. It’s how the bloods came into being. A lot of kids around here don’t have those healthy relationships, so that’s what we’re trying to do, but we’re doing it from a more spiritual perspective,” she said. Helping youth develop nurturing relationships and resist invitations to gang membership are two of the goals of another community-based initiative that began back in May after the fatal shooting of 14-year-old Tyler Winstead outside his Hill Street home in April. The Building Bridges initiative was born when The Rev. Shawn Walker of the First Baptist Church and the Rev. Michael Brewster of Mt. Zion Baptist Church began working with Mayor Tom Leighton and the

“They have concerns,” Zaremba said. “They worry not only about their benefits, but whether Social Security will be there for their children and grandchildren.” About 30 residents of the senior center attended the luncheon and stayed for the program. They wanted to hear news about Social Security and shared a birthday cake for Social Security, Sedivi and Harriet Hess, who turned 83 Wednesday. Laura Dorshefski, center director, said the 49 residents tell her they are worried about Social Security’s future. “They feel they won’t get back what the paid in,” she said. Hoffman says whether Social Security goes up or down, she has no choice but to adjust. “We live within the budget we get,” she said. “We don’t have that many more years left, but we want to enjoy them and stand on our own two feet.” She and Sedivi said they rely on Social Security for medical care, prescription drugs and other needs. “I pay my bills and have a couple dollars left to play bingo,” Hoffman said. Eve Malishchak, 82, who grew up in Hanover Township, said she couldn’t get around without her monthly Social Security check. “I hope they don’t cut it out,” she said. “If they do, there will be a lot of people on the sidelines.” George Shyner Sr., 76, worked as a carpenter all his life. He said Social Security is his primary source of income. Shyner said he worries about the program getting cut, but if it

only $143,000 remains in the general fund. The board voted to seek proposals for a tax anticipation note. In other townships such as Dorrance, Rice, Lake and Lehman, small portions of expected tax remittances have been noted at public meetings over the past two months. Through Tuesday, Lake Township has received only about 30 percent of what it had at that point last year, said Township Secretary Carlene Price, who serves as a voting delegate to the county tax collection council. “We’re lucky enough that we’re keeping our head above water right now, but there are some others that will be in the red within the next month or two,” Price said.

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State’s board of trustees will meet this weekend to consider whether to ratify a consent decree with the NCAA that imposed penalties for how the university handled the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal. Board chairwoman Karen Peetz told fellow trustees Thursday in an email, which was obtained by The Associated Press, that there was confusion about how Penn State accepted the sanctions and whether it was the “best course” for the university. “We have heard from President (Rodney)Ericksonandfromourlegal team,” Peetz wrote. “We have had an opportunity to speak our minds. I appreciate everyone’s candor and your sincere and heartfelt comments.However,itisnowtime to put this matter to rest and to move on.”

does, he said he will “go with the flow.” He said he worries more about the future and whether Social Security will be there for his children and grandchildren. Shyner served eight years in the National Guard. He said if he got the chance, he would tell President Obama and Congress to make sure Social Security remains strong and is there for future generations.

S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y S TAT I S T I C S Pam Zaremba of Pennsylvania Alliance for Retired Americans, passed out informational sheets to the 30 residents who attended Thursday’s Social Security Birthday Party at the Shickshinny Senior Center. Here are some key statistics: • At the end of 2011, 55 million people – 38 million retirees, 4.2 million surviving spouses, 10.5

million disabled workers and 4.3 million children under 18 – were receiving Social Security benefits. • The Trust Fund balance at the end of 2011 was $2.67 trillion. • The Trust Fund will be exhausted by 2033 if nothing is done before that. Benefits would be cut by 23 percent but would continue.

diversity task force was formed, “there were no procedures. … You can’t expect people who were volunteers to do things we were never instructed to do.” She said the board might consult with a county solicitor to inquire about proper procedures. Trompetter said she believes Jirau “has a bone to pick” with the commission because before his resignation years ago, he was going to be asked to leave. “He was a lone ranger. He

would go off on his own and do things without coordinating with the commission,” she said, offering an example of meeting with the Wilkes-Barre police chief on his own when the commission was planning to do so. Jirau said he went to the police chief because the commission was having problems arranging a meeting. He said he resigned because he didn’t feel he was being given access to information on the commission’s past work for

the Latino community. Trompetter said the commission has used very little of the original $20,000 in funding because members had not found “projects that were worthy enough.” But a new diversity leadership program at Luzerne County Community College in which all high schools in Luzerne County will participate is being planned for this coming school year, Trompetter said.

PSU trustees to meet on ratifying NCAA penalties By GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

A notice posted on Penn State’s websitesaidthe5p.m.Sundaytelephone conference would be broadcast live online. The NCAA on July 23 barred the school from postseason play for four years, fined it $60 million and invalidated 112 of the football team’s wins for the way school officials handled abuse complaints against Sandusky, a retired assistantfootballcoachwhowasconvicted in June of 45 sexual abuse counts. The school acquiesced to the penalties, but some trustees, alumni and others have reacted angrily. Sometrusteesandthefamilyofformer football coach Joe Paterno, who died in January, have sought to appeal the NCAA’s decision, but the organization has said the decision is not subject to appeals.

“I’m going to say what I’m going to say,” he continued. “I mean, come on. That’s like me saying, ‘Oh, I’m transferring to Michigan.’ How would you feel? How would they feel? “Naw. … That’s a coward move to me. So I really don’t care.” Redd and top receiver Justin Brown (Oklahoma) were the two most significant defections along with kicker Anthony Fera (Texas). “For the most part, a lot of us stayed here,” McGloin said. “Stayed true to the program. Thought about the team. Thought about what the coaches have done. Thought about the fans. “And it couldn’t be better right now, the position that we’re in. We have a chance to do something great for this university and bring this university back to the top.” Coach Bill O’Brien has been diplomatic about the players

who have left, saying that he does not agree with their decisions but still respects them. O’Brien cautioned that the Lions can’t get too caught up in an us-against-the-world mentality, particularly off the field. “I think we have to be very, very mindful of that,” O’Brien said. “In the competitive arena, when we go out and play games, I can see where that may come into play a little bit. … You have to play the sport of football with somewhat of a chip on your shoulder. But at the end of the day, these kids understand why we’re in this position. “Instead of saying it’s us against them, let’s go out and play good football and think about the fact that maybe this is a little bit about more than football. That this is about helping a community. This is about bringing more awareness – much more awareness – to child abuse. This is about making sure that we … be a part of leading this university through the next three or four years. “That will be a challenge, but that’s what life is about.”

Company unavailable The company hired by the county to handle the tax collection, reconciliation and disbursement is Centax-Don Wilkinson Tax Agency, based in Bridgeville, near Pittsburgh. Repeated attempts to leave a message or to talk with someone at the company were unsuccessful Thursday as calls were disconnected or no one answered the corporate office’s phone. That company has told tax collection committee solicitor Jeff Malak that turnover, computer glitches and other issues have led to the problems, but they were being addressed and rectified. The delegates will meet Aug. 22 and an agenda item is going to be Centax’s contract and whether it should be voided. Malak said that if the company shows that it has acted in good faith to address the county’s concerns and can show that it has taken action to correct them, the company may be able to show it has met its contractual obligations. But he said delegates could opt to look at the year-to-date work the company has done and decide to nullify the contract and seek requests for proposals from other firms.

He would not release the name of the registered owner of the vehicle. He said no arrest has been made. “This could wind up in court either way,” said Malak, who added he believes the committee would be within its rights if it ended the contract based on provisions in Act 32, the law that was created to simplify tax collections. “It doesn’t seem to working that way,” Malak noted. Media reports from around the state show other counties having similar problems with Centax. At least two counties, Armstrong and Beaver in western Pennsylvania, have reportedly given the company the required 90-day notice to sever their contracts with Centax. Kingston up to date Kingston Administrator Paul Keating said that unlike many municipalities in the county, his has fared well in receiving money from Centax. “We’re right about where we were last year,” he said, but added the caveat that the borough increased its tax rate this year from 1.95 percent to 1.99 percent so it should have been bringing in more money. Price expressed hope that an emergency meeting would be called next week to address the contract and move on with hiring a new company, but Bolin said that with advertising requirements and costs, it was decided to wait the extra few days until the regularly scheduled meeting. Bolin said that even if the contract is ended, by the time a new company is brought in and begins the process of transferring records, it may be September or October before the new company begins disbursing funds. That could be too late for some municipalities, Price said. Road projects need money up front to move forward, payrolls need to be made, bills need to be paid, she noted, all of which require the money that municipalities are rightfully entitled to and rely on to balance their budgets. Without that money flowing in, Bolin agreed, “it could be devastating.” Bolin said the county “was led down the wrong path” in selecting Centax, and by the time people realized the glitches and issues, it was too late. feeds approximately 300 people for lunch daily. It also offers dinner on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. “For them to go around doing this is great. It helps us by saving us a day of meals,” Cianciotta said. The pizza was a big hit with clients like Randy Hunsinger of Hanover Township. He said he goes to the kitchen frequently for lunch. The pizza was a nice surprise. “Two thumbs up, definitely,” Hunsinger said. he said. A neighbor a few doors away considered herself lucky. The woman, who asked not to be identified, said someone tried to break in but did not. She has a dog and sensor light activated by movement in her backyard. Still, she found the screen on her back porch door was cut and the outside screen on her kitchen window was raised. Like at Zambito’s, state police lifted a handprint from the outside of the kitchen window. “I feel threatened,” she said. She was unsure if the sensor light went on to prevent the break-in. It wasn’t her dog, which did not stir, she added.

STATE COLLEGE — In the NFL, Bill O’Brien said, you can spot the running backs right away. About 5-foot-11. Muscular. Built low to the ground. Exactly what Penn State’s new coach saw in Bill Belton. A wide receiver last season as a true freshman, Belton is suddenly Penn State’s starting running back after the departure of Silas Redd. When the team reassembled this past spring, Belton went to join the receivers before O’Brien stopped him. “Where are you going?” O’Brien said. “I’m a receiver,” Belton responded. “No, you’re a running back,” O’Brien said. And he was impressive enough to come out of spring ball as the second-stringer behind Redd. When Redd left for USC, See PSU, Page 4B

American Eaton cruises Pettersson leads to decathlon gold medal breakthrough

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — The breakthrough moment Thursday wasn’t just the sun shining over Kiawah Island. It was Carl Pettersson breaking 70 for the first time in 21 tries at the PGA Championship to take the lead, Rory McIlroy flashing that boyish smile and bashing tee shots. And yes, even John Daly showing there might be another cycle left in that up-anddown career. Pettersson, a winner earlier this year in South Carolina down the coast at Hilton Head, got the best of the weather on a steamy day on the Ocean Course and didn’t waste the opportunity. He made three birdies in four holes, never dropped a shot and wound up with a 6-under 66 for a oneshot lead. McIlroy, Gary Woodland, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano of Spain and Alex Noren of Sweden each had 67. “There really wasn’t much wind on the front nine, so I knew I had to keep going

Especially this year, on the 100th anniversary of the event. At the 1912 Olympics, Jim Thorpe won the inaugural title. Thanks to Eaton, the decathlon gold is staying in the United States. Eaton joins 2008 winner Bryan Clay and, of course, Bruce Jenner, in earning the honor as “The World’s Greatest Athlete.” Even Usain Bolt, the star of the night with his victory in the 200 meters, was impressed. “I’m a great athlete, but to do 10 events, especially the 1,500 — I’ve got to give it to him,” Bolt said. Though the warm-and-sunny conditions in London were far better than the rain, wind and cold at

LONDON — Instead of one victory lap, Ashton Eaton got four. His Olympic gold medal in the decathlon was all but sealed when he reached the last event, the 1,500 meters, where he simply needed to finish in an average time to win the event on Thursday night. The world-record holder cruised over the four laps, crossed the line and fell to the track — partly of exhaustion but mostly out of elation. Eaton finished the two-day competition with 8,869 points to defeat fellow American Trey Hardee by 198. It’s the first time the Americans have gone 1-2 in the Olympic decathlon since Milton Gray Campbell and Rafer Johnson in 1956. “That’s what Trey and I really, really wanted,” said Eaton, who’s from Eugene, Ore.

WEMBLEY, England — Abby Wambach didn’t put on her “Greatness Has Been Found” T-shirt right away. She instead strayed from her teammates and knelt alone at midfield — and cried into a U.S. flag. Yes, greatness has been found. And payback has been achieved. The Americans are again on top of the women’s soccer world.

We’re all tired, every player on the field. Twenty-two players on the field are tired,”’ Wambach said. “It’s about who wants it more, right here, right now.

Report says Howard is headed to Los Angeles By JOSH ROBBINS The Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic’s Dwightmare appears to be nearing an end. The Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers reached a deal in principle on a four-team trade that would send Howard to the Lakers, ESPN reported late Thursday night. In turn, the Magic definitely were set to receive Denver shooting guard Arron Afflalo, Denver forward Al Harrington, Philly center Nikola Vucevic, Philadelphia rookie small forward Moe Harkless and one future firstround pick from each of the three other teams. Meanwhile, the deal also would send Orlando swingman Jason Richardson and L.A. center Andrew Bynum to the Sixers and Philly swingman Andre Iguodala to the Nuggets. Magic general manager Rob Hennigan and CEO Alex Martins did not return messages Thursday from the Orlando Sentinel. But the deal, as reported, no doubt will leave many Magic fans underwhelmed. Earlier Thursday, it appeared that the Magic might receive All-Star Pau Gasol from the Lakers, but Gasol is no longer in the mix, a league source familiar with the deal told the Sentinel. Some NBA observers speculated that the details of the Magic’s talks with the Lakers, Nuggets and Sixers were leaked by the Magic in order to prompt Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey to improve his offer for Howard. In any Howard deal, the Magic wanted to trade away the longterm salaries of such players as Richardson and Chris Duhon. The Magic would begin a full rebuilding project once they trade away Howard, and it seems unlikely that the franchise would want to keep Gasol or Afflalo for the long term.

Yankees win streak ends at Rochester The Times Leader Staff

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – After three straight wins Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre ended its four game series against Rochester with a 5-2 loss on Thursday night at Rochester Field in New York. The Yankees (65-53) got things rolling in the top of the first inning when Chris Dickerson got on second with a double, then scored on a home run by Corban Joseph to make it a 2-0 game. The Red Wings (60-59) came back in the second inning plating four runs highlighted by RBI doubles from Eduardo Escobar and Rene Rivera to give Rochester a 4-2 advantage. In the fifth inning Escobar reached first on a bunt and then took second after a Rivera sacrifice bunt. Pedro Florimon then singled to center field allowing Escobar to score and deliver the game’s final run to make it 5-2. The Yankees will stay in New York and head to Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo to take on the Bisons in a two-game series starting tonight at 7:05. Yankees Dickerson dh

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L 1901 — Frank Isbell of the Chicago White Sox set an AL record by stranding 11 teammates on the basepaths. 1944 — Charles “Red” Barrett of the Boston Braves threw only 58 pitches to beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-0 in a nine-inning game. 1957 — Mickey Mantle became the first player to clear the center-field hedge at Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium when his 460-foot homer hit the base of the scoreboard. The Yankees beat the Orioles, 6-3. 1969 — Cesar Tovar of Minnesota broke up the second no-hit bid against the Twins by a Baltimore pitcher. Tovar singled with none out in the ninth off Mike Cuellar. Earlier in the year, Tovar singled with one out in the ninth to spoil Dave McNally’s bid. 1971 — Harmon Killebrew of the Minnesota Twins hit his 500th home run in the first inning off Baltimore’s Mike Cuellar to become the 10th player to hit 500 or more in a career. Killebrew also hit No. 501 off Cuellar but the Orioles won 4-3.

O’Brien didn’t hesitate to name Belton his new starter. “It wasn’t that big of a switch (to running back),” Belton said Thursday at Penn State’s media day. “Making the transition was very easy. During my childhood, I grew up playing running back. So this wasn’t something out of the ordinary.” Belton played some quarterback at Winslow Township High School in New Jersey, but he did more running than throwing. Enough to help prepare him for the biggest chance of his young career. Penn State has other options at the position, including Derek Day, Curtis Dukes, Akeel Lynch and Zach Zwinak.

EATON Continued from Page 1B

U.S. Olympic trials in Oregon where Eaton broke the record earlier this summer, he fell short of the mark by 170 points. Not that it mattered. His goal was simply to win a medal, not eclipse his world mark of 9,039 points. “I’m satisfied,” Eaton said as he struggled to put his accomplishment into words. So Hardee did that for him. Given that Eaton is just 24 and heading into his prime, Hardee’s not sure anyone is going to catch up to him anytime soon. “It’s safe to say my reign is over,” said Hardee, a two-time world champion. “I still think my best decathlon is ahead of me, but Ashton’s are, too. “As the days and weeks and months and years pass, I think Ashton and I will look back on this and realize how special it really is and what this really meant.” Eaton was consistent throughout the schedule. He started off by breaking Bill Toomey’s 44-year-old Olympic record in the decathlon 100-meter

dash and took off from there. He also scored the most points in the long jump and 400 meters. His only lackluster event was the discus, where he finished 22nd and lost points to the field. But it really didn’t matter as he built his lead back up in the pole vault, where he wound up third. Soon after finishing the 1,500, Eaton was greeted by his fellow competitors, each giving him a congratulatory slap on the back. After hugging Hardee, Eaton dashed over to embrace his fiancée, Brianne Theisen. “This is super hard to grasp,” Eaton said. “For me, I want 10 perfect events. If I really felt like I was the world’s greatest athlete, I’d get 10 great events. But I know that’s pretty much not possible. That’s the toughness of the decathlon.” Asked if winning gold was more difficult than breaking the world mark, Eaton chuckled and said, “Yeah.” “Decathlons in the U.S. are so much easier, because of the time frame,” he said. “I think I competed in Eugene for the world record for a total of 13 hours. That’s what we competed just today. These are way harder.” More satisfying, too.

Birdies help Lindberg take a two-shot lead By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

AP PHOTO

Pernilla Lindberg reacts after making a birdie on the ninth hole.

SYLVANIA, Ohio — Pernilla Lindberg holed birdie putts of 40 and 50 feet and added three 25-footers in a round of 7-under 64 to take a two-shot lead Thursday after the rainy opening round of the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic. The 26-year-old Swede, a former Oklahoma State player, hasn’t finished in the top10 of an LPGA event in her three years and 36 starts as a pro. She has missed the cut in six of her 10 starts this season. But she drained a 50-foot putt for birdie at No. 5, made a 40footer for a 2 on the par-3 14th and made 25-footers at Nos. 4, 12 and 18. Two shots back were Angela Stanford, Japan’s Mika Miyazato, South Korea’s Chella Choi, LSU grad Meredith Duncan, Thailand’s Numa Gulyanamitta and France’s Karine Icher.

low because I figured the wind would get up,” Pettersson said. “The wind started blowing a little bit on the back nine, and I carried on solid play. So it was a great day for me.” It was a good day for Tiger Woods, nothing more. Despite having to get up-anddown for bogey on three holes, he made enough birdie putts for a 69, a reasonable start as he tries to end the longest drought of his career in the majors. This is his 14th major since he won his last one in 2008, and the last one of an otherwise good season. “Anything in the 60s is going to be a good start in a major championship,” Woods said. “And I’m right there.” He had plenty of company, some players who had not been heard from in a while, others that were all too familiar. Woodland, who started the season with a new coach (Butch Harmon) and injured himself working too hard on the changes, is feeling better and hitting it longer than ever. “I drove the ball the best I’ve driven it all year,” Woodland said, one of the most powerful players in the game. “And when I drive it like that, I’m playing a game that most guys can’t play out here.” Daly made an eagle on the par-5 11th hole and was in the group at 68 that included former U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy and defending PGA champion Keegan Bradley, who had a birdie-eagle start before he settled into his round. Adam Scott, in his first major since throwing away the British Open with four bogeys on his last four holes, quickly got back into the mix with a 68. “So far, so good,” Scott said. “It would be great to put two more rounds together and be coming here Sunday with a good look at the championship. If I don’t, then I’ll really feel like I’ve let it all slip this year for me. So I’d love to use this opportunity while I’m playing well to get in there and have a sniff on Sunday.” The group with Woods at 69 included Ben Curtis, Ryo Ishikawa of Japan and Pat Perez, playing his first major this year. Phil Mickelson, holding down the eighth and final spot in the Ryder Cup standings, was all over Kiawah Island and did a remarka-

SOCCER Continued from Page 1B

Before 80,203 fans at Wembley Stadium, a record for a women’s soccer game at the Olympics, the teams put on a back-and-forth, don’t-turn-your-head soccer showcase, proving again that these are the two premier teams in the world. Women’s soccer is still in its formative stages in Britain, but the match proved more than worthy for the hallowed grounds of the beautiful game. Back home, America was paying attention — just as it was last year and despite all the other Olympic events. Even President Barack Obama, while visiting the U.S. Olympic Committee’s training center in Colorado Springs, Colo., offered a “special shoutout” to the women’s team for its victory. At the final whistle, Solo found herself enveloped in a group-hug celebration that unleashed a year of bottled-up frustration. Many of the players paraded with the flag and put on the celebratory Tshirts. Wambach, the outspoken cocaptain who missed the Beijing Games with a broken leg, was always the player most impassioned about the mission to get the Americans back atop the podium. She spoke of “nightmares” from the Japan defeat, and now they’ve been replaced by tears of happiness. The loudest of cheers erupted when she received her gold medal, and she was the only one to get a hug from American IOC member Angela Ruggiero, who draped the medal around Wambach’s neck. “I’m so proud of us, the resilience of this team from never giving up, for always believing in ourselves even when the scoreline and time proved otherwise,” Wambach said. “This is what the

ble job scrambling to salvage a 71. “I fought hard today and I kept myself right in it for the most part and should get a bit of a weather break tomorrow morning,” Mickelson said. “It actually felt a little bit closer than it has in a long time. I felt good on the green. My touch was back. I started hitting some shots at some pins.” The flags started to ripple in the afternoon, though not enough to make Kiawah as frightening as it can be. With so much rain over the last week, including storms that limited practice time before the championship began, the greens were soft and fairways slow. Those were the kind of conditions McIlroy had when he shattered the scoring record at the U.S. Open last summer at Congressional. More than soft conditions, though, was that bounce in his step while walking down the fairway after blistering his tee shots. He hit 10 drivers, most of them where he was aiming. McIlroy was bogey-free, and while he failed to make birdie on a couple of the par 5s, he picked up a shot on the field at the 249-yard 14th hole, which features severe slopes off every corner of the green. Leave it to the 23-year-old from Northern Ireland to hit a towering 3-iron that settled 12 feet from the flag, one of only six birdies on the par 3 in the first round. McIlroy has been a disappointment in the majors this year — much of his season has gone the wrong direction since he briefly rose to No. 1 in the world after winning the Honda Classic in March — but got a pep talk from putting coach Dave Stockton and has spent more time playing instead of practicing technique. Perhaps some luck is starting to come his way, too. Last month at the British Open, he drilled a young kid in the head and the ball bounced out-ofbounds. On Thursday, he badly pulled his tee shot on the scary par-3 17th. The ball could have gone anywhere except that it hit a woman on the hip and bounced toward the green into a bunker. That led to a simple up-and-down for par, one of the few nervous moments McIlroy had all day. “It’s becoming a habit hitting people in the majors, so try not to do that again,” McIlroy said. Sure, he missed some birdie opportunities, though he was more interested in some of the birdies he made and was satisfied with his start. “It was a fair reflection of how I played,” he said. Olympics is all about, two great teams that faced off against each other today, that have mutual love and respect for each other. And you know, sometimes the ball bounces your way, and today that’s what the case was for us.” The U.S. team has won four of the five Olympic titles since women’s soccer was introduced at the 1996 Atlanta Games, taking second place at the 2000 Games in Sydney. Settling for silver, the Japanese players huddled together in defeat, with coach Norio Sasaki trying to encourage them. Karina Maruyama was inconsolable. Aya Miyama bowed her head and Asuna Tanaka wiped away tears. But they were all smiles when they re-emerged for the medal ceremony, bouncing their way to the podium. Lloyd also scored the winning goal in the gold medal match against Brazil in Beijing four years ago. On Thursday she found the net in the eighth and 54th minutes, making it four goals in the tournament for the midfielder who lost her long-held starting job weeks before the Olympics. She got back on the field when Shannon Boxx injured her hamstring in the opener against France and started every game since. “I think I just come up big in big moments. That’s what I’ve trained for,” Lloyd said. “I worked my butt off day-in and day-out. I don’t think there’s anybody that works harder than I do. I was on a mission this Olympics to prove everybody wrong, and that’s what I did. To show everybody that I belong on the field.” Yuki Ogimi answered in the 63rd minute, and Mana Iwabuchi nearly had the equalizer in the 83rd — stripping the ball from captain Christie Rampone and swooping in on Solo — only to be thwarted when the goalie flung her entire body to the left to push the shot away.

NASCAR

Wacky season for Gordon turns to Watkins Glen He won the Pennsylvania 400 last week to get back into Chase contention. By JOHN KEKIS AP Sports Writer

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Since a blown engine knocked him out of the Daytona 500 to start the Sprint Cup season, it’s taken Jeff Gordon 20 races to drive into contention for NASCAR’s postseason. And he’s there, finally. After notching his first victory of the season last week at Pocono, Gordon holds one of two wild cards and would make the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup championship if it began this week. “I don’t think a lot of people have really even put much emphasis and recognize, other than

ourselves, how consistently we’ve been top-five, top-10 the last eight weeks,” Gordon said as he turned his focus to Sunday’s race on the road course at Watkins Glen. “That’s what’s moved us up into the position we’re in. That’s what put us into position to win that race.” It’s been a rough road for the four-time Cup champion, who has run up front much of the season only to see his team’s efforts go for naught. Through the first 14 races of the 36-race season, Gordon’s average finish was an uncharacteristic 20.714, placing him outside the top 20 in points. Two wild cards for the Chase are awarded to the drivers with

the most wins outside the top 10, but only those in the top 20 are eligible. Before his 86th career win last week — he finally had a stroke of luck when leaders Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth tangled on a restart and Gordon slipped past unscathed into first, getting the victory when rain prevented the completion of the race — Gordon was an afterthought at best to make the Chase. It’s the wackiest season he’s had since becoming a full-time Cup driver in 1993: — In March at Bristol, the exhaust on teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s car cut a tire on Gordon’s No. 24 Chevrolet and Gordon limped home 35th. — Only half a lap from winning at tiny Martinsville in April, he was wrecked during a greenwhite-checkered finish and ended up 14th despite leading 328

laps. — Gordon won the pole at Talladega, but a late crash doomed him to a 33rd-place finish. — At Darlington, Gordon, third all-time with seven wins at the tricky egg-shaped speedway, had two flat tires and came home 35th. — Seemingly in the clear of a late accident at Daytona a month ago, Gordon was hit from behind while heading to pit road but salvaged a 12th-place finish. Instead of conceding, Gordon and his Hendrick Motorsports team have persevered despite more than a few tense moments between Gordon and crew chief Alan Gustafson. “When you go through something like that, it really tests you,” said Gordon, who’s reeled off six top-six finishes in seven races. “It tests every aspect of the team, personalities. It either pulls you

apart or it brings you closer together. It’s brought us closer and stronger together.” Watkins Glen International’s high-speed, 2.45-mile layout with its 11 turns has been both good and bad to Gordon, the all-time leader in NASCAR with nine road course victories. He has four wins — second to Tony Stewart’s five triumphs — six top-fives, nine top-10s, and two poles. Although Gordon’s last victory at The Glen was in 2001, he’s been in contention since, most memorably in 2007. Gordon led 51 of the race’s 90 laps and was two car-lengths ahead of Stewart with just two laps remaining, but a classic battle between NASCAR’s two most successful road racers disappeared in the blink of an eye. Gordon spun off course on his own entering the first turn of lap 89 and finished ninth as Stewart celebrated in Victory Lane.

ARENA FOOTBALL

Soul and Rattlers play for the glory Arizona lost in title game last year and is looking to make up tonight. The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Doug Plank watched just about every Arizona Rattlers home game from the stands last year, while Kevin Guy watched in agony as his Rattlers lost the 2011 Arena Football League championship on the final play. The two coaches will be on opposite benches tonight in New Orleans, as Plank guides UP NEXT the PhiladelArena Bowl phia Soul XXV against Guy’s Philadelphia Rattlers in Soul (15-3) vs. the AFL’s Arizona 25th ArenaRattlers (13-5) Bowl. New Orleans Plank, a Arena New Orleans former RatTV: NFL tlers assistNetwork, 10:30 ant coach p.m. and broadcaster, calls Arizona home in the offseason. He returned to the league with Philadelphia this season after serving as coach of the Georgia Force from 2005-08. While Plank had been out of the league for three seasons, Guy is in his second straight title game with the Rattlers. But he will be looking for a different result this time. Arizona lost 73-70 to Jacksonville last season when the Sharks scored as time expired. “I felt like we had everybody on the same page,” Guy said of the final play, a 10-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Garcia to Jeron Harvey. “We just didn’t finish. Something we’ve talked about all season long (this year) is finishing.” The Rattlers finished the regular season 13-5 and entered the playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the National Conference. They won their playoff games against San Jose and Utah by a combined nine points. “Our guys fought all year,” Guy said. “We practice outside in the heat. I think it makes us physically and mentally tougher. As the season went on, we developed some chemistry and started playing some pretty good football.” Philadelphia went a leaguebest 15-3 in the regular season. The Soul averaged 77.5 points in playoff wins over New Orleans and Jacksonville and have not lost since May 18 at Spokane. “I haven’t worked a day this year,” Plank said. “Every day was fun.” Arizona quarterback Nick Davila, who threw eight touchdown passes in last year’s ArenaBowl, passed for 5,500 yards and 113 touchdowns this season. Philadelphia’s Dan Raudabaugh had 4,790 yards passing and 115 TD passes.

Local doctor excelled at 1900 Olympics

Crashes mar prelims

Defending champion Maris Strombergs of Latvia eased into the semifinals after escaping an avalanche of crashes at the London Velopark. Strombergs was among eight riders who advanced after three qualifying runs. World champion Sam Willoughby of Australia had to complete two more runs before sealing his own spot in the semis. There were more than 20 crashes throughout the day. The London Olympic course, with its big jumps and tight corners, has proved to be one of the most difficult in the world. Time trial world champion Connor Fields of the United States was unbeaten after three runs and also qualified directly for the next round.

The area’s first Olympian was also its most decorated, though his medals hardly had the glamour attached to them that today’s victors enjoy. Dr. Walter Tewksbury, a dentist who served the Tunkhannock community for decades before his death in 1968 from pneumonia at age 92, could at one point in history lay claim to the title of the world’s fastest man. He traveled to Paris in the summer of 1900 for the Games of the Second Olympiad. He won the 200 meters (22.2 seconds) and the 400 hurdles (57.6 seconds, an American record), placed second in 60 and 100 meters, and took third in the 200-meter hurdles. That’s two gold, two silver and a bronze for the man who twice tied the world record in the 100 meters (10.8 seconds), including the Olympic semifinals. "In those days, the Olympics wasn’t much of a thing. No one made a fuss about it," his daughter, Pam Emerson said to The Times Leader in 1999. "We never saw a sign of any medals or anything. I vaguely remember dad saying that he may have been one of those who sold his to make some money for these

little side trips." The 1900 Olympics were anything but to many competitors. While the first Games in Athens were held over a 10day period, the Paris Olympics took place over a five-month span coinciding with the World’s Fair. It was the first time women participated. Twenty-two of the 997 athletes were female (for comparison, 24 countries were represented). There were five events in which mixed teams (athletes from more than one nation) were allowed -- polo, rowing, soccer, tennis and tug of war. The first sport women participated in was croquet. Medals as we know them today were not awarded to event winners. Some participants did receive medallions in the traditional gold, silver and bronze. Some received paintings and other artwork, still others received monetary prizes. The French officials had told the Americans there would be no races on Sundays, but they staged the 400 hurdles on that day. They also incorporated a water jump as one of the hurdles." (Friend and fellow American runner Alvin Kraenzlein) went to Paris on Sunday," Tewksbury told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 1965. "The only reason I was there (at the Olympic stadium) was to help a friend of mine in the mile. I had to borrow shoes, a uniform - everything," he said. "I didn’t have a thing." Tewksbury still won the event, and Kraenzlein still won four other golds. Tewksbury was born in 1876 in Ash-

ley, and attended Wyoming Seminary -until they expelled him for blowing up an outhouse at the school. He still advanced to the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied dentistry and, in his junior year, went out for the track team. He won IC4A championships (precursor to the NCAA) in the 110- and 220-yard dashes while with the Quakers in 1898-99. In 1996, he was posthumously named to the National Track and Field Hall of

Hungarian wins marathon

Eva Risztov of Hungary led most of the way in a grueling open water marathon at Hyde Park, holding off a desperate bid to chase her down by American Haley Anderson. The big crowd was hoping for a gold medal from world champion Keri-anne Payne, but the British swimmer finished fourth. Risztov beat Anderson by four-tenths of a second after nearly two hours of racing around The Serpentine. The winner climbed out of the water, smiling and looking fresh. She even flexed for the big crowd. Risztov retired from swimming after the 2004 Olympics, upset with her results and tired of the pool. She eventually decided to give open water a try, and it sure worked out in a big way.

Australia lands team gold

The quartet of Tate Smith, Dave Smith, Murray Stewart and Jacob Clear gave Australia a lift with a surprising wire-to-wire win in the men’s 1,000meter K-4. It was Australia’s first team gold in canoe sprint — and took its overall tally in London to six after wins by cyclist Anna Meares, 100-meter hurdler Sally Pearson and sailors Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen in the past three days. Germany collected two more victories, with Tina Dietze and Franziska Weber taking the women’s 500-meter K-2 and Peter Kretschmer and Kurt Kuschela winning the men’s double canoe sprint 1,000.

But needing to win by two in the third set, Germany took a 15-14 lead and then won it when Emanuel’s spike landed just wide of the sideline.

Jamaica’s Usain Bolt celebrates winning the gold medal after the men’s 200-meter final during the athletics on Thursday.

Lightning Bolt strikes again By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Sports Writer

LONDON — When the stakes are the biggest, the spotlight most bright, Usain Bolt is as good as gold. Good as there’s ever been. Putting the field far enough behind that he could slow up over the last few strides and put his left index finger to his mouth to tell any critics to shush, Bolt won the 200 meters in 19.32 seconds Thursday night, making him the only man with two Olympic titles in that event. He added it to the 100 gold he won Sunday, duplicating the 100-200 double he produced at the Beijing Games four years ago. The only difference? In 2008, Bolt broke world records in both. This time, Bolt led a Jamaican sweep, with his training partner and pal Yohan Blake getting the silver in 19.44, and Warren Weir taking the bronze in 19.84 — more than a half-second behind the champion. “The guy is just on another planet right now,” Wallace Spearmon, the American who finished fourth in 19.90, said between sobs of disappointment. Afterward, Bolt had plenty of energy left, dropping to the track to do five pushups — one for each of his Olympic gold medals so far. Ever the showman, he bent down and kissed the track, then did it again a few minutes later, and also grabbed a camera from someone in the photographers’ well and trained it at the group clicking away. Bolt’s stated goal heading to London was to become a “living legend,” and, well, he’s making a pretty good case for himself, even if International Olympic

Committee President Jacques Rogge said a few hours before the 200 final that it’s too early to make such determinations. “The career of Usain Bolt has to be judged when the career stops,” said Rogge, who criticized the Jamaican four years ago for showboating by slapping himself on the chest at the finish of the 100. “Let him participate in three, four games, and he can be a legend,” Rogge added. “Already he’s an icon.” That’s for sure. In Beijing, Bolt became the first man to win the 100, 200, and 4x100 relay at a single Summer Games, and all in world-record times, no less. In London, he became the first man to win two Olympic golds in the 200, and he did it consecutively, too. He’s also only the second man — joining Carl Lewis of the U.S. — with back-to-back 100 golds, and Lewis won his second when rival Ben Johnson was disqualified after failing a drug test. In all, the 25-year-old Bolt has won seven of the last eight major individual sprint titles in the 100 and 200 at Olympics and world championships, a fouryear streak of unprecedented dominance. The only exception was a race he never got to run: Bolt was disqualified for a false start in the 100 final at last year’s world championships, and Blake got the gold. There have been other small setbacks for Bolt, who was troubled by minor leg and back injuries that were blamed for losses to Blake in the 100 and 200 at the Jamaican Olympic trials. That sparked some handwring-

ing back home in Jamaica about how Bolt would do in London. Seems rather silly at the moment. “Two times in a row. World championships, too,” said Churandy Martina of the Netherlands, fifth Thursday in 20 seconds flat. “He can say whatever he wants. ... He did all those things.” And even if Bolt didn’t manage to break his own world records at these Olympics (his 9.63 Sunday was the second-fastest 100 in history, behind only his 9.58 from 2009), he certainly has managed to reinvent sprinting. Unusually tall for a sprinter, the 6foot-5 Bolt towered over the 5-11 Blake and 5-10 Weir as they posed together with Jamaican flags after their 1-2-3 finish. Bolt uses his long, long, long strides to propel himself past opponents. The sixth-fastest of eight entrants out of the blocks in the 200, he had made up the stagger on at least two other finalists before the turn. Into the stretch, Bolt was at warp speed, gritting his teeth and pulling away. The only man who had any possible chance of challenging him was Blake. And that didn’t really materialize. By the end, it didn’t matter that Bolt let up for his final three steps, taking a look to his left to check on Blake, who also was the silver medalist in the 100. Still, Bolt’s time was exactly the same as three-time individual Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson’s when the American set the then-record at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics: 19.32. Back then, the thinking was that would stand as the mark for decades.

LONDON — Manteo Mitchell felt the pop in his leg and knew it wasn’t good. “It felt like somebody literally just snapped my leg in half,” he said. The American sprinter had half a lap to go in the first leg of the 4x400-meter relay preliminaries Thursday and a choice to make: keep running or stop and lose the race. To him, it was never much of a choice. He finished the lap and limped to the side to watch the Americans finish the race and qualify easily for the final. A few hours later, doctors confirmed what he suspected: He had run the last 200 meters with a broken left fibula. “I heard it and I felt it,” Mitchell told The Associated Press. “But I figured it’s what almost any person would’ve done in that situation.” Mitchell finished his heat in a morethan-respectable 46.1 seconds, and the United States tied the Bahamas in the second heat in 2 minutes, 58.87 seconds — the fastest time ever run in the first round of the relay at the Olympics. The 25-year-old sprinter from Cullowhee, N.C., said he was diagnosed with a complete break of the left fibula — but it was not a compound fracture and the bone is expected to heal on its own in four to six weeks. He knew what the stakes were when he lined up to run the first leg of his first Olympics. The Americans have won gold in the last eight long relays they’ve entered at the Olympics. “Even though track is an individual sport, you’ve got three guys depending on you, the whole world watching you,” Mitchell said. “You don’t want to let anyone down.” He said he slipped on the stairs a few days ago in the athletes village but didn’t think much of it. Training went well and he felt good when he lined up to kick things off for the Americans. He said he was feeling great, as well, when he looked at the clock while approaching the 200-meter mark, somewhere in the high-20 or low-21-second range.

Familiar foes on the court facing off in the semis By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

LONDON — Ten mesmerizing minutes can’t make the U.S. men’s basketball team forget the last 10 years. When the Americans face Argentina today in the Olympic semifinals, they aren’t preparing for the team they left in the dust Monday during a third-quarter onslaught. That was so easy, so effortless, that another matchup so soon seems like a waste of time. The Argentines are proud champions, with a core of beloved veterans fighting to go out in glory, a team whose accomplishments are almost on par with the Americans over the last decade. That’s the team the U.S. players are counting on seeing at the North Greenwich Arena. “We already know what to expect as far as the intensity of this game tomorrow night. They’re going to bring it,” U.S. forward Carmelo Anthony said

Thursday. “We know what to SEMIFINALS expect from ourTeam USA selves, we know vs. Argentina what we’ve got to 3:30 p.m. today do, we know what’s NBCSN at stake and tomorrow is one of biggest games that we’ve ever played,” he added. “Tomorrow is just about who wants it the most.” It’s the third straight Olympic semifinal meeting for the countries, adding to what’s been perhaps international basketball’s foremost rivalry in the last decade. Argentina beat the U.S. in 2004 en route to the gold medal, two years after a victory in the world basketball championship made the Argentines the first team to beat a U.S. team with NBA players. The Americans won four years ago in Beijing, have beaten the Argentines twice this summer, and it’s almost fit-

ting that they require a stopover to face each other before either can get back to the medal podium. “For us, it’s the semifinals. You don’t need other, or you shouldn’t need any other motivation,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “The fact that they’re so good should make us even more prepared.” After six almost-even quarters, the Americans appeared to have solved the Argentines in the third quarter Monday, outscoring them 42-17 behind Kevin Durant’s 17 points and coasting to a 12697 victory. Even Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola, who’ve had as much success against U.S. players as anybody, realize Argentina has no shot in a game played at that pace. “If we want to have any chance to win the game, that just cannot happen,” Scola said. “Not even 120, not even 110, not even 105. We need to put that game in the 90s. That would be pretty much

our only chance to win.” The Americans are averaging 118 and haven’t been held below 98 in the tournament, so Scola may have to readjust his goals. But Argentina did make it tough for the U.S. in an exhibition game last month in Barcelona, trimming a 20point deficit to four before the Americans pulled out an 86-80 victory. And the U.S. led only 60-59 at halftime Monday against an Argentina team that was playing without Pablo Prigioni, its starting point guard who has signed with the New York Knicks. Four years ago, the Americans humiliated Spain by 37 points in pool play, only to find themselves with just a fourpoint lead down the stretch a few days later in the gold-medal game. Argentina, with cagey and crafty 30-somethings who rely on their minds now as much as their legs, will try to conjure up something to make a similar turn-

around. “They’re smart, they’re really good and we just have to be ready for anything,” Krzyzewski said. These Americans seem to have all the answers — Anthony said they have “no weaknesses” — breaking out a weapon they hadn’t even needed yet in London when Australia got close in the third quarter of Wednesday’s quarterfinal. Kobe Bryant made six 3-pointers and scored 20 points from there as the Americans broke away for a 119-86 victory. LeBron James turned in the first U.S. triple-double in the Olympics with 11 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists — with no turnovers. “We are playing some good ball right now,” James said. “We are going against a team next that we know, that we are used to playing. They are going to be excited to play us; we are going to be excited to play them, too.”

Make it five for the women By DOUG FEINBERG AP Basketball Writer

LONDON — Now this was something new. The U.S. women’s basketball team faced its first Olympic halftime deficit in 12 years Thursday night as it tried to reach the gold medal game for the fifth straight time. Not to worry. The Americans took a deep breath at the break, then used a pivotal 16-6 scoring run sparked by their defensive pressure to rally for an 86-73 win over Australia. U.S. coach Geno Auriemma turned to his Olympic rookies to lead the way. The group — led by Tina Charles and Lindsay Whalen — pressured Australia into turnovers and bad shots, helping the U.S. reach the title game for the fifth straight time. “We came out in the second half and once we got control of the game, it took off from there,” Auriemma said. “It just illustrates it’s only one night. If you have a great nightandtheU.S.hasapoorshootingnight or defensive night there goes the tournament.” Australia didn’t have a great night, but they had a great half. Behind the inside play of 6-foot-8 Liz Cambage, the Australians shot 61 percent and led 47-43 at halftime. But with a chance at another gold medal on the line, an inspired U.S. squad regained the lead behind

the play of the reserves, harrassing GOLD MEDAL Australia into just 4 of GAME 18 shooting from the Team USA field in the third quarvs. France ter. 3:30 p.m. The Americans will Saturday play France in a TV: NBC matchup of unbeaten teams. It will be the first time the two teams have played in the Olympics. It will be the first time since1996 that the Americans won’t be facing Australia for the gold. “We knew before that to win the gold you have to beat Australia whether it’s in the semifinal or the finals,” Auriemma said. Australia went right at the U.S. with Cambage leading the way but the Americans’ depth and pressure defense were the difference again. The Australian’s budding star scored 19 points in the first half, she was scoreless in the second half. Sue Bird said stopping Cambage was the first of many things the Americans talked about during the break. “Not letting her get deep,” Bird said was the priority. The U.S point guard added that the strategy was to jam Cambage when she was running the floor and prevent her from getting low-post position.

UP NEXT

“She is a big girl, when she gets you sealed on her back that low, what are you going to do?” Bird said. “It’s almost impossible to stop her.” And the U.S. rarely did in the first half. The second half was a different story for Cambage. “They shut us down” in the third, Cambage said. “I know I backed down in the third. I put a lot on me.” Bird said the U.S. turned the game around with its depth. “They’re not rookies,” Bird said of her first-time Olympic teammates. “These aren’t 21-year-old kids who have never played international basketball. Once again that is where our advantage lies.” The Americans had cruised through their first six games winning by an average of 38 points before facing the No. 2 team in the world in the semifinals — a round earlier than they had met at the past three Olympics. With the U.S trailing 56-55 in the third quarter and star Diana Taurasi sidelined with four fouls, Auriemma turned to his bench. The reserves responded, sparking the game-changing run. Whalen started the burst by scoring the first six points and Seimone Augustus chipped in another four to help the Americans build a 65-59 lead at the end of the third quarter.

WILKES-BARRE – While the U.S. women’s field hockey team has fought through the ongoing Olympic tournament, they have been tested by some of the world’s powers, along the way responding with an upset of Argentina and close losses to Germany, Australia and New Zealand. The team’s effort culminates today against Belgium with the American’s looking to rebound after an unexpected loss to South Africa just a few days ago which set its record at 1-4, one not good enough for medal contention. But while the U.S. won’t be medaling this summer, they’ve certainly made a mark as an upand-coming team with at least one former member. “I’ve been watching some of the games and it looks like they have a team of young, skillful, dynamic players who are also fearless and that’s always great to have,” said former national team member Lauren Powley, 28 and now living in Wilkes-Barre. “I think they have a lot of younger talent between 20 and 23 years old who now have Olympic experience under their belt. They have seven or eight veterans from the ’08 team and I think it makes for a good mix. The veterans bring experience and those younger players are always a spark,” said Powley. “Hopefully the veterans stick around and the younger players will learn from this time around. The future is looking bright for them, I believe.” Amongst the talented and younger players that Powley saw play was Paige Selenski, a selection from the team who played at Dallas before attending the University of Virginia. “I saw a few highlights of her scoring on a reverse chip shot, which should be her trademark because it’s a really good one,” said Powley. “She’s fast, has good control and seems to have a positive impact when she’s on the field. She scores some amazing goals.” Powley, who played for the team at the 2008 Olympics, has certainly earned her say after spending the better part of the last decade wracking up accomplishments in the sport. Powley capped a stellar high school career – two All-American selections, three All-State selections – at Wyoming Seminary

with a Class 2A PIAA Championship in 2001 before moving on to the University of Maryland. There, while Powley playing the center midfield poUP sition and earnNEXT ing First Team All-American Team USA vs. Belgium honors in three 8:30 a.m. consecutive seatoday sons, Powley TV: NBCSN earned a national championship in 2005 after making it to the NCAA tournament’s Final Four the previous two seasons. In her time spent with the Terrapins, Powley’s vision on the field and ability to set up teammates earned her acceptance to the Senior National Squad. The team posted an overall record of 1-1-3 in ’08, not good enough for a medal but still something far from a disappointment. “When I got to Beijing it was a little surreal, but, you have to treat it like any other tournament, even if it is the Olympics and the largest stage you’ll ever play on,” said Powley. “And I’m content with my performance in the tournament. You always think you can play better in certain areas, but, overall I’d say I’m happy with my performance. It was very exciting. It’s an amazing thing to be able to represent your country. It was definitely something I’ll carry with me the rest of me life.” After the Games, Powley continued her stint with the national team until 2010, playing in a handful of tournaments along the way but also experiencing what was then a first for her in the sport. “I attended World Cup qualifier and that was my last big event. We were living and training in San Diego and after we had at least a month off and then we would usually train Monday through Friday, two practices a day between eight a.m. and four p.m.” said Powley. “With all that time spent doing the same thing for so long, I wasn’t enjoying playing any more. I wasn’t enjoying the sport I had loved since I started playing in the seventh grade. “I was burnt out, physically, from training day in and day out for so long and sometimes going months without seeing some competition.”

Giants’ rookies are ready By TOM ROCK Newsday

Eastin is a replacement official and made her NFL debut in the exhibition game. The regular officials are locked out by the league after their contract expired. PANTHERS

Quarterback Newton still sees holes in his game

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — By his own admission, Cam Newton hasn’t arrived. The Panthers 23-year-old quarterback sees plenty of room for improvement this preseason even after a record-setting rookie campaign. Newton had 35 combined touchdowns in 2011 for Carolina (No. 20 in the AP Pro32) but says there are still “a lot of holes” in his game. He hopes to work those out in Saturday night’s preseason opener against Houston (No. 6). Newton says he wants to limit his turnovers, improve ball placement and make key plays throughout the game, including the third quarter — where the Panthers struggled at times last season.

David Wilson’s expectations for Friday night are high. “I’m visualizing the first carry and then take it all the way,” he said. “I’m looking forward to getting back out there in competition. I’m a high-level competitor. I’ve been dying for competition since January.” Tonight, he and his fellow rookies get their first taste of NFL competition when the New York Giants play the Jacksonville Jaguars in their preseason opener. For months now Giants’ fans have been hearing about the speed of Wilson, the hands of Rueben Randle, and the tenacity of Jayron Hosley. For many, this will be their first chance to see it. It will be a first time for the coaches to see how those first three draft picks and other young players fare, too. So far they have flashed in workouts and practices, but have yet to go against live action. “In practice, you’re not really able to hit each other and things like that,” Randle said. “It’s hard to show (breaking tackles) during practice. But I think when game time comes, it’ll be a pretty good time to show up.” The rookies may be looking for

breakouts, but the coaches just want to avoid breakdowns. Things will be kept simple. The idea will be to ease them into the new professional environment. “I need to see ball security,” Tom Coughlin said. But just like Giants fans, he’s also curious how the rookies’ on-paper athleticism will translate to the field. “We’d like to see David’s big play potential,” Coughlin said. “Rueben has been a guy that has caught the ball consistently all through camp. He’s very smooth. He’s gotten himself open, caught the football. I wouldn’t think there would be a reason for him not to continue that in the preseason.” Wilson, the first-round pick, will be the one who is truly tested Friday. He’ll have to show a firm grip on the ball as well as the playbook. He’ll have to show he can pick up blitzes and protect backup quarterbacks before they let him stand in front of Eli Manning. “There are some things that I’m very impressed with, and some things that

ROUNDUP

I’m not,” running backs coach Jerald Ingram said. “We’ll decide when he’s ready, and his teammates will decide when he’s ready. It’s a learning curve process for all rookie running backs right now. There have been more busts than greats, so let’s find a way to make him great.” Wilson has spent the last two weeks of training camp ducking, juking and spinning away from defensive players who aren’t allowed to tackle him. “He hasn’t been in this game a long time,” Ingram said. “Practice is one thing; the game is another. The challenge of the game, we’re looking forward to it this weekend, and this whole preseason process, to see what he can do.” While the coaches want to see it, the rookies already believe they can do it. “It means a lot,” Randle said of his first NFL experience. “We’re going to be able to show the coaches what we’re capable of doing. I think they’ll gain more confidence in us, (and we’ll earn) more trust also from the players around us. It’s going to be a big step for us.” And if Wilson does take that first handoff and go all the way like he has visualized, well, it could be a big step for the entire team.

COWBOYS

Issues with depth at center

OXNARD, Calif. — Getting settled at center has been far from a snap for the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys had planned to give starter Phil Costa some competition in training camp, but Bill Nagy and Kevin Kowalski are both out with ankle injuries. David Arkin had never played center before, which is obvious at times during camp, and Mackenzy Bernadeau is coming back from hip and knee surgeries. Coach Jason Garrett says the snapping situation is the result of injuries. He says the team felt good about the center, backup and even third-teamer coming into camp. He says the team is trying to adjust the best it can. 49ERS

Moss to make S.F. debut

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — There has been an enigma running around San Francisco 49ers practices this offseason. The long-legged, quick-footed, hairno-longer-braided blur wears No. 84. He still pulls his socks up high, talks with a country twang and goes by Randy Moss. Even on a team that rarely recognizes individual efforts, this new presence has been impossible to miss. After a year away from football, Moss makes his much-anticipated 49ers debut under the lights at Candlestick Park on Friday night when resurgent San Francisco fittingly faces the franchise where the wide receiver’s NFL career began, hosting the Minnesota Vikings in the preseason opener for both teams.

SEAHAWKS

RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks said Thursday they violated the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement by allowing Terrell Owens to practice in shoulder pads during his first on-field practice. The team said it unintentionally committed the violation and that Owens should have just been in a shell and not shoulder pads during his debut practice on Wednesday. League spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email that the league is gathering facts. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram first reported the possible violation. The CBA states that players have a three-day acclimation period during the preseason after signing: “Day 1 is for the physical and meetings. Day 2 and 3 the player may participate, but only in helmet and shells or a padded shirt. Day 4 and for the rest of camp is in full pads.”

Birds’ starters look sluggish By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

PHILADELPHIA -- Maybe it was more carryover from an already emotional week. Or perhaps they just aren’t quite yet up to carrying through on their quarterback’s boast of being on the verge of a dynasty. But whatever the reason, the Philadelphia Eagles appeared more distracted than dynamic despite capturing a dramatic 24-23 victory Thursday over the cross-state rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Alex Henery’s dramatic 51-yard field goal with12 seconds to play in a preseason opener at Lincoln Financial Field. All that scoring was done by Philadelphia’s backups. As far as the front-liners, the Eagles missed tackles on defense, melted down on offense and, at this point, made little improvement from the Philadelphia team that finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs last season. “I was kind of frustrated,” Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson said. In fact, the Eagles played like they had more on their minds than just football. And, well, they did. A stadium-wide silence that lasted more than a minute was held before the game in honor of Garrett Reid, after the late son of Eagles coach Andy Reid passed away in his training camp dorm room Sunday and was laid to rest Tuesday. And while Andy Reid returned from a brief bereavement to coach the Eagles in their exhibition opener, the energy of his team didn’t come back quite so quick. At least not while Philadelphia’s prime-time players were on the field. “It’s tough,” Eagles running back LeSean McCoy said. “The whole week, we’ve been battling through everything - the situation that just happened. It’s been a long week. I think once the team settles down a little bit, lets time pass, we’ll be fine.”

EAGLES

STEELERS

Mostly, the Eagles first-teamers looked like they lost their focus. The two offensive series’ run by Vick both went three-and-out, not the type of effort the Eagles starting quarterback envisioned when he said just before training camp opened he believes his team has enough talent to begin a dynasty. “We look forward to making plays, and we weren’t making them today,” McCoy said. Vick was sacked once in his six plays and wound up having his hand X-rayed. The results turned up negative, but so did any early progress the Eagles defense had hoped for. Steelers starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger directed a 17-play, 52yard drive during his only series that chewed more than nine minutes off the clock and ended with Shaun Suisham’s 46-yard field goal for a 3-0 Pittsburgh lead. Then Steelers backup Byron Leftwich went to work against Philadelphia’s starting defense, tossing a twoyard touchdown to wide-open Emmanuel Sanders for a 10-0 lead just after running back Jonathan Dwyer darted 33 yards through a flailing Eagles defense and into prime scoring position. The one time Philadelphia did make some progress in the opening half, Steelers defensive end Al Woods thwarted it by picking off a Mike Kafka screen pass and returning it 51 yards. That set up Suisham’s second field goal, as the Steelers took a 13-0 lead into halftime. Oh well, at least the Eagles got back into some semblance of a game rou-

tine, after spending most of the week trying to cope with the loss of Garrett Reid - who was working with Philadelphia’s strength and conditioning staff at the time of his death. At one point early in the first quarter, the same Philadelphia fans who called for Andy Reid’s dismissal during two home games last season began chanting his name in a rare outpouring of affection for the Eagles head coach. “That’s honestly a blessing for coach Reid and the fans to support him after the loss he just had. The tragic loss,” Jackson said. “Anything we need to do to support coach.” Suddenly, the preseason opener seemed even more insignificant than usual for the Eagles. But their spirits received a big lift when third-round - and third string quarterback Nick Foles came in thinking big in the third quarter. He rolled out and found Damaris Johnson with a 70-yard touchdown bomb. Then Foles fired his second long touchdown pass within two minutes a 44-yard missile that receiver Mardy Gilyard pulled down just inside the pylon to give the Eagles a 14-13 lead with 5:52 to play in the third quarter. The celebration was brief. Steelers rookie running back Chris Rainey took a short dump pass and eluded three tackles on his way to a 57yard catch-and-run touchdown that put Pittsburgh back in command, 20-14. The Eagles tried to rally and pull out victory, when fourth-string quarterback Trent Edwards tossed to Chad Hall for a 16-yard tackle-breaking touchdown to put Philadelphia back in front, 21-20 with just over five minutes to play. But the Steelers struck right back, driving 55 yards to set up Daniel Hrapmann’s 43-yard field goal at the twominute warning. That proved just enough time for Edwards to position the Eagles for Henery’s winning kick, which split the uprights as a dwindling Eagles crowd rose to its feet.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Three was the key for Robert Griffin III. The Washington Redskins rookie quarterback needed only three passes on his third and final drive to show glimpses of stardom in his muchanticipated NFL preseason debut Thursday night. After a muffed handoff and no first downs in his first two series, RG3 found his rhythm by completing his final three passes for 58 yards, capped by a 20-yard touchdown to Pierre Garcon in a 7-6 win over the Buffalo Bills. Garcon celebrated by doing a frontfirst somersault in the end zone. And he was quickly joined by Griffin, who raced over to congratulate him with a leap in the air. With 5:54 left in the first quarter, it was the go-ahead score after the Redskins (No. 25 in the AP Pro32) fell behind 3-0. It was an eventful cameo appearance for the Heisman Trophy winner, who was drafted with the No. 2 pick out of Baylor. Griffin finished going 4 of 6 for 70 yards and a lost fumble. “It felt extremely good to come out and play,” Griffin said. “Coach did a good job calling plays, got me in a rhythm and helped get the offense in a rhythm on that third drive.” Patriots 7, Saints 6 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Will Smith crunched Tom Brady from behind, forcing a fumble in the first quarter. It may be the Saints’ defensive end’s biggest play for a while. One of four players punished in the New Orleans bounty scandal, Smith was suspended for the first four regular-season games. So Thursday night’s sack of New England’s star quarterback was a highlight in the Patriots’ lackluster win in their exhibition opener. John Kasay had a chance to give the Saints (No. 9 in the APPro32) the lead, but his 41-yard field goal attempt went wide to the right with 3:07 left. Ravens 31, Falcons 17 ATLANTA — Baltimore backup Curtis Painter threw three second-half touchdown passes to lead the Ravens to a preseason win over the Falcons. Atlanta’s Matt Ryan led two touchdown drives, including a scoring pass to Julio Jones, before Painter took over. Ryan completed 9 of 13 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He was 5 for 5 for 71 yards, including the 7-yard touchdown pass to Jones, on the opening drive for Atlanta (No. 13 in the AP Pro32). Chargers 21, Packers 13 SAN DIEGO — Shannon Eastin became the first woman to officiate an NFL game and the San Diego Chargers slogged to a sloppy preseason victory over the Green Bay Packers. Eastin broke the NFL’s on-field gender barrier by serving as the line judge for the seven-man crew of replacement officials. She helped oversee a predictably ugly preseason opener by both teams, filled with fumbles, interceptions and missed assignments. Philip Rivers had a touchdown, an interception and a fumble in limited action for the Chargers ( No. 16 in the AP Pro32). Rookie Jarrett Lee got most of the action, throwing for 235 yards and a touchdown.

Regular gas was $3.65 Thursday at Sheetz in Sugarloaf Township.

Gas prices go higher

Airlines set on-time mark

U.S. airlines are more punctual and less likely to lose your bag than at any time in more than two decades. Nearly 84 percent of domestic flights arrived within 15 minutes of their scheduled time in the first half of the year — the best performance since the government started keeping track in 1988. Airlines are also doing a better job of handling bags. Fewer than three suitcases per 1,000 passengers were reported lost, damaged or delayed from January through June, a record low. The two areas of improvement are related: When flights are late, bags often miss their connection.

Trade deficit shrinks

Food prices rise sharply

International food prices rose sharply in July, driven by a spike in grain and sugar prices. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization index climbed 6 percent, although it was well below a peak reached in February 2011. Severe drought gripping the U.S. Midwest has sent corn prices soaring by almost 23 percent, and expectations of worsened crop prospects in Russia because of dry weather sent world wheat prices up 19 percent.

For the first time since late April, the average price of gasoline is higher than it was a year ago. Drivers are now paying a nationwide average of $3.66 per gallon, a penny more than on this day last year. The last time gas that happened was April 23, according to auto club AAA. Gas is up 10 percent from July 1 and experts say pump prices could keep rising through Labor Day. The overnight price in Wilkes-Barre was $3.62 per gallon, up 14 cents in a week but below the $3.67 price a year ago, AAA Mid-Atlantic said. Some drivers, like those in the Midwest and on the West Coast, are feeling a bigger pinch. Prices spiked about 40 cents per gallon last week in parts of Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois because of refinery and pipeline problems. This week, drivers in California, Oregon and Washington are watching pump prices jump after a partial outage at a big Chevron refinery.

Maine lobstermen sell low to Canadian processors “They can’t take it anymore,” said Christian Brun, a spokesman for the Maritime Fishermen’s Union. “They’re going to go bankrupt and everybody’s on the edge.” U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine weighed into the fracas, calling on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to investigate the lobster dispute. “While I understand that the New Brunswick government is attempting to control these protests, it is clear that additional Canadian resources are necessary to maintain order and ensure continued commerce

REDERICTON, New Brunswick — New Brunswick fishermen staged a protest outside the Canadian fisheries minister’s office Wednesday in their ongoing dispute over the import of low-priced lobsters from Maine, while a U.S. senator called on the province to ensure the smooth flow of goods across the border. The fishermen are upset that lowpriced lobsters from Maine are being processed in the province, thereby driving down prices for their own products.

across the border,” Snowe said in a letter to Clinton. Lobster processors in New Brunswick agreed Friday to pay a minimum of $2.50 per pound for processed lobster and $3 per pound for live market lobster. But Brun said New Brunswick fishermen need $4 per pound for both fresh and processed lobster just to break even. The flare-up over lobster prices came to a head last week, when fishermen held demonstrations in CapPele and Shediac, New Brunswick, and trucks were prevented from delivering Maine lobsters to three processors.

A low pressure system over Ohio and western PA will keep us cloudy and wet with on-andoff showers and thunderstorms today. The high will be 81. A cold front will move through Saturday morning, producing showers and thunderstorms, but also pushing in some drier air for the weekend. Saturday will start with some morning showers, however, the afternoon and evening look dry. It will be a little cooler Saturday night under partly cloudy skies, low of 59. Sunday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 83. Monday looks mostly sunny and dry, high of 81. Rain showers return on Tuesday. - Kurt Aaron
